Typically, these images do not have the same image generation flags contained in images released via the OpenVMS remedial patch process. Because of this, any debug or point-fix image that is in the SYS$COMMON area, will be replaced by any image of the same name installed by this kit. If this occurs, you will lose any functionality that is provided by the replaced image. If you wish to retain these debug or point-fix images, you can take the following steps: o Prior to installing this kit, move the test/debug image(s) to be saved to the SYS$SPECIFIC area. o During kit installation, you will be asked if you wish to delete the image(s) in SYS$SPECIFIC. You should answer NO for each image that you want to keep. Page 6 o After installation completes, but before rebooting the system (if required), move the image(s) from SYS$SPECIFIC back to SYS$COMMON. 7.2 Compressed File This kit is provided as a DCX compressed kit. 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 ALPTZ01_062.A-DCX_AXPEXE FTSV DCX auto-extractible compressed file for OpenVMS (AXP) FTSV V3.0 -- FTSV$DCX_AXP_AUTO_EXTRACT Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corp. 1993 Options: [output_file_specification] [input_file_specification] The decompressor needs to know the filename to use for the decompressed file. If you don't specify any, it will use the original name of the file before it was compressed, and create it in the current directory. If you specify a directory name, the file will be created in that directory. Decompress into (file specification): If you want the file to be expanded into a different directory, enter the directory specification. DO NOT enter a new file name. The expanded file must retain the original name. If you want to expand the file via batch, the command file must contain an answer to the Decompress into "(file specification)" question, either a or an alternate directory specification 7.3 Installation Command Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL ALPTZ01_062 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset. 7.4 Special Installation Instructions: o Date Dependent Installation The DTSS$TIMEZONE_RULES.DAT file provided by the ALPTZ01_062 kit implements new timezone rules that take effect January 1, 2007. However, the kit has no provision for defining rules depending on the year. Due to this limitation, kit installation is date dependent. In order to have the old Page 7 timezone rules apply for the balance of 2006, this kit will only install on systems after December 31, 2006. If the kit is installed before this time, the following error message will appear and installation will abort: Installation of the ALPTZ01_062 patch kit is date dependent. This kit will only install after December 31,2006. See the ALPTZ01_062 Release Notes for more information.
