Softdoc Addendum
A softdoc addendum describes modifications that correct defects or introduce new
features. A softdoc addendum is written for each successive PVU that is created after
the initial PVU. Softdoc addendums for unrestricted SPRs are appended to the initial
PVU softdoc. The initial PVU’s softdoc and a series of softdoc addendums are issued
as one document for unrestricted SPRs.
Softdoc addendums contain these sections:
•
Product Name is the official name of the product.
•
Product Number is the product number (Tnnnn), followed by the product version
suffix; for example, T7862G06.
•
Date is the official SPR date.
•
PVU Number indicates the SPR ID, which is the product number (Tnnnn) plus a
three-letter successive PVU suffix (aaa).
•
Copyright Notice indicates the year this softdoc was released.
•
Revision History indicates any revisions made to this softdoc. For example:
