ECO INFORMATION:
ECO Kit Name: VMS62TO71U2_PCSI-V0200
DEC-AXPVMS-VMS62TO71U2_PCSI-V0200--4.PCSI
ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: VMS62TO71U2_PCSI-V0100
ECO Kit Approximate Size: 3264 Blocks
Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3,
V7.1, V7.1-1H1, V7.1-1H2, V7.1-2
System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No
Rolling Re-boot Supported: Not Applicable
Installation Rating: INSTALL_2
2 - To be installed on all systems running
the listed version(s) of OpenVMS and
using the following feature(s):
New PRODUCT command functionality
Layered product installation instructions
that require this remedial kit be
installed as a prerequisite
Kit Dependencies:
The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE
installation of this kit:
None
In order to receive all the corrections listed in this
kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed:
None
NOTE: This kit and the VMS712_UPDATE-V0300 kit both contain PCSI
executable files and it appears as though this kit supersedes
the files in the UPDATE kit. Either of the kits can be
installed first because PCSI will do the right thing and
keep/install the latest executable.
ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for PCSI on Alpha V6.2 through V7.1-2.
New Functionality Included in VMS62TO71U2_PCSI-V0200 and
VMS62TO71U2_PCSI-V0100:
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 for problems that have been fixed since OpenVMS
V7.2 was release.
After installation 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 OpenVMS V6.2, V6.2-1H1,
V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3, V7.1, V7.1-1H1, or V7.1-1H2
2. Install DWMOTIF V1.2-5
3. Upgrade to (or re-install) OpenVMS V6.2, V6.2-1H1,
V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3, V7.1, V7.1-1H1, or V7.1-1H2
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 (in the example above), do the
following:
1. Remove DWMOTIF using the command:
$ PRODUCT REMOVE DWMOTIF
2. Upgrade to (or re-install) OpenVMS V6.2, V6.2-1H1,
V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3, V7.1, V7.1-1H1, or V7.1-1H2
3. Re-install this remedial kit
4. Re-install DWMOTIF
This workaround is not needed if you are upgrading to OpenVMS
Alpha V7.1-2 or later. These releases already include the new
features provided by this remedial kit to eliminate this
issue.
