It doesn't have anything to do with whether the patch is downloaded, but
probably whether it's an enhancement or a fix (oversimplified, but generally
true).  If this is an enhancement to Streams/iX, Patch/iX will disqualify the
patch and you must force it (after first verifying with the HPRC that this is
OK).  However, if this is a KPR fix, and the patch disqualifies, you should,
again, contact the HPRC for advice.

Subject:  [HP3000-L] Streams patch installation




I am using Patch/iX to install the "GENERAL FIXES FOR STREAMS/IX ON MPE 6.0
Release (A Patch)" id STRFDC5A.

When I go into the Qualify Patches menu it shows :

>[ ] STRFDC5A  No           GR      A,N   CSLT/Store  Yes    Reactive


and the detailed information says it is not recommended to force this patch
:

 QUALIFICATION STATUS:
     Disqualified  (patch naturally disqualifies - force not recommended)

Did I miss something... or is this normal for downloaded patches?
