[pca] Method to stop applying patches when a patch fails to apply?

[Cashion, David (DXZ)]

All,

Was wondering if there is a method to force PCA to stop applying more patches when it encounters an error? 

For instance, sometimes a kernel patch will fail to fully apply for various reasons.  Since it shows up as being installed, the other patches that depend on that kernel patch will successfully install.  However, since it shows up as "installed" according to the OS, another PCA run will say that all the patches are applied and none are missing even though you should not reboot until the problematic kernel patch has been successfully installed.

I'm not sure how the CPU patchset determines if a kernel patch was successfully applied, but the patchset script will notice the incomplete kernel patch installation and try to reapply it.

Thanks much,
