If you have existing defined or created Change Package definitions that have not been applied to your target database, conflicts may exist after applying PRPs to the PUM source that will impact the existing Change Package. The PRP may contain post requisite updates, which would result in a partial and undocumented apply. To prevent this scenario, conflicts will be detected when the PRP is applied to the PUM source and displayed on the Analyze Applied PRP(s) page. The Recalculate Selected Package Definitions button on the Analyze Applied PRP(s) page will run the application engine program PTIARECALCCP to recalculate the package and remove the conflicting bugs.
