ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for PCSI on VAX V6.2 through V7.1.
New Functionality Included in VMS62TO71_PCSI-V0200:
o This remedial kit updates the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility of OpenVMS, including associated command procedures
and help text. After installation, the POLYCENTER Software
Installation facility will be functionally equivalent to that
provided by OpenVMS V7.2. Changes include new PRODUCT
commands and qualifiers, improved display of output from
PRODUCT SHOW commands, features useful for product developers,
and several corrections for problems that have been fixed
since OpenVMS V7.2 was released.
After installaton of this remedial kit your system will use
the new features provided by this version of the POLYCENTER
Software Installation utility. If a layered product is
installed that makes use of this new functionality, then it
may not be possible to revert back to an older version of the
utility. This restriction occurs because there may be records
in the software product database that the older version of the
utility will not be able to interpret. This scenario may
occur after an OpenVMS upgrade to a version of OpenVMS prior
to V7.1-2. For example, this situation occurs if you:
1. Install this remedial kit on VMS V6.2 or V7.1
2. Install DWMOTIF V1.2-5
3. Upgrade to (or re-install) VMS V6.2 or V7.1
The upgrade to any of the versions listed in #3 above may fail
(or other PRODUCT command operations on the product database
may fail) with one of the following errors:
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, ...
or
%PCSI-E-UNSDOCENC, unsupported product document encoding version
To prevent these failures after installing this remedial kit
and the DWMOTIF product (as in the example above), do the
following:
1. Remove DWMOTIF using the command:
$ PRODUCT REMOVE DWMOTIF
2. Upgrade to (or re-install) VMS V6.2 or V7.1
3. Re-install this remedial kit
4. Re-install DWMOTIF
This workaround is not needed if you are upgrading to OpenVMS
VAX V7.2. These releases already include the new features
provided by this remedial kit to eliminate this issue.

provided by this remedial kit.
