ABSTRACT:
A corrective service facility (CSF) includes improvements which allow a user to service products installed in a data processing system. CSF provides a text interface and a graphical user interface, the latter allowing a user to more readily control what products and files to update. Servicing is done by delta fixes, product feature servicing, and product specific servicing. The CSF can also be used from a local area network.
