To expand this file to the installable PCSI file, run the file with a RUN file_name command. When the file is run you will see the following output: $ RUN VMS731_AUDSRV-V0200.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE FTSV DCX auto-extractible compressed file for OpenVMS (AXP) FTSV V3.0 -- FTSV$DCX_AXP_AUTO_EXTRACT Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corp. 1993 Options: [output_file_specification] [input_file_specification] The decompressor needs to know the filename to use for the decompressed file. If you don't specify any, it will use the original name of the file before it was compressed, and create it in the current directory. If you specify a directory name, the file will be created in that directory. Decompress into (file specification): If you want the file to be expanded into a different directory, enter the directory specification. DO NOT enter a new file name. The expanded file must retain the original name. If you want to expand the file via batch, the command file must contain an answer to the Decompress into "(file specification)" question, either a or an alternate directory specification 8.2 Installation Command Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software installation utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: PRODUCT INSTALL VMS731_AUDSRV /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA [/SOURCE=location of Kit] The /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier is optional but highly recommended. Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. The /SOURCE qualifier is not needed if the PRODUCT INSTALL command is executed from the same directory as the kit location. Page 5 Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt. 8.3 Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions During installation, this kit will ask and require user response to several questions. If you wish to automate the installation of this kit and avoid having to provide responses to these questions, you must create a DCL command procedure that includes the following logical name definitions and commands: o To avoid the BACKUP question, define the following: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE o To save replaced files as *.*_OLD define the following logical name as YES. If you do not wish to save replaced files, define the logical name as NO. Note that if you use the /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier (recommended) on the PRODUCT INSTALL command all replaced files will be saved as part of that operation. There is no need to also save files as *.*_OLD: $ DEFINE/JOB ARCHIVE_OLD NO o Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL command and add that command to the DCL procedure. /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V2.0/SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA o De-assign the logical names assigned For example, a sample command file to install the VMS731_AUDSRV kit would be: $ $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE $ DEFINE/JOB ARCHIVE_OLD NO $! $ PROD INSTALL VMS731_AUDSRV/PRODUCER=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS- /VER=V2.0/SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA $! $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP $! $ exit Page 6 9 COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMER: (C) Copyright 2004 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
