Abort Phase
If for some reason either the prepare or apply phase failed or gave problems, you can abort the patching cycle.
After running abort, you must always run a full cleanup
adop phase=cleanup cleanup_mode=full
This will remove any columns that were added by the patch but are no longer needed because of the abort. If they are not removed, they may cause problems in a later patching cycle.
