> If you notice the last patch in the pca list is 122660, but there are other
> patches required by 122660 which does not get installed because 125547
> depends on 122660 and so 120011 fails.

> After almost 4 hours of writing and testing, I have a script which will

> proceed as normal with installing other patches using pca.

> I will attach my script and hope that this forum accepts text attachments.
