Using Advanced Options Page

Use this page to set the dependency calculation. The package dependency calculation can optionally include or exclude the post requisites of fixes that have previously been applied to your target database

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Advanced Options page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Field or Control Description

Yes

Include Post Requisites of Already Applied Bug Fixes

The full Dependency Tree is calculated prior to checking whether bug fixes included in the calculation have previously been applied to your target. The resulting package will include the Post Requisites of Already Applied bug fixes, but not the Already Applied bug fixes or their pre-requisites. Selecting this option will generally result in a larger change package being created, but this may reduce the chances of missing a fix.

No

Exclude Post Requisites of Already Applied Bug Fixes (default)

The Dependency Tree is calculated such that bugs that are Already Applied are removed during the calculation process, and as a result the resulting package will not include the Post Requisites of the Already Applied bug fixes, nor the Already Applied bug fixes or their prerequisites. Selecting this option will generally result in a smaller change package being created, but this may increase the chances of missing a required fix.
