H06.27 Release Version Update Compendium

By providing access to a data warehouse with SPR information for many different RVUs, Scout
makes SPR analysis fast, easy, and accurate. Through the Scout main menu, you can display
detailed information about:
• Release version updates (RVUs)
• Product versions (PVs) and software product revisions (SPRs)
• Outage Prevention Notifications, Hotstuff messages, and Support Notes
• Prerequisites for an SPR
• Available SUTs and Independent Products
After researching available SPRs, you can download those you consider appropriate for your
systems directly to your workstation, or you can request tape delivery.
