Hi Jie,

If interruption occurs during the initial state of an installation, then the cleanup procedure attempts to delete the installation entirely and restore the previous version of the product (if there is one). When the previous version is restored, it becomes the active version. When the previous version cannot be restored, the software is listed by the lslpp -l command as BROKEN.

When the product is deleted or BROKEN, you can attempt to reinstall the software. Any product in the BROKEN state cannot be cleaned up; it can only be reinstalled or removed.

Broken base filesets are corrected by forcing the install of the base fileset.
Broken PTFs are corrected by reinstalling the PTF in the committed state.

Best Regards,
