Chapter 5: MKS Integrity Integration

In the event an issue being processed does not exist, the change package entry log is updated
to indicate that no updates were performed for the issue and no future updates will occur for
the issue. Although no updates occur, the change package entry log is updated to reflect the
issue posted to ensure further updates are not attempted.
If an invalid action or workflow conflict occurred while the emergency update mode was
active, for example, a promotion that would not normally be allowed based on the current
state of an issue, the update to MKS Integrity does not occur during the update because it
will only fail. This is a warning condition; as such, it is left for the administrator to ensure the
issue is set to the proper state.
After successfully applying the pending updates, a message of the update results is sent to
the user defined as the iSeries Notify User. If no pending updates exist, a message at the
bottom of the panel confirms this.
