To ensure that your SMP/E environments does not contain unneeded received maintenance, you can configure CA MSM to reject the maintenance that was received but not applied during the wizard execution. After you have navigated through the wizards steps and the maintenance task has completed successfully, CA MSM rejects the received but not applied maintenance that is not directly associated with the maintenance that you have applied.
