In addition, there are a number of counties in Indiana that will be changing this year from the Eastern U.S. time zone to the Central U.S. time zone. The VMS82A_TZ-V0100 patch kit, provided the OpenVMS functionality necessary to these Daylight Savings time changes in the United States. This kit adds Support for Canada.

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$SPECIFIC. You should answer NO for each image that you want to keep. o After installation completes, but before rebooting the system (if required), move the image(s) from SYS$SPECIFIC back to SYS$COMMON. 8.2 Compressed File This kit is provided as a Self Extracting ZIPEXE kit. To expand this file to the installable .PCSI file, run the file with the following command: $ RUN VMS82A_TZ-V0200.ZIPEXE 8.3 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 VMS82A_TZ[/SOURCE=location of Kit] Note that this kit will install with the /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA option turned on. Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. If you wish to disable this option you must use the /NOSAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier on the PRODUCT INSTALL command. 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 Page 6 kit location. Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt. 8.4 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 [/SOURCE=location of Kit] o De-assign the logical names assigned For example, a sample command file to install the VMS82A_TZ-V0200 kit would be: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE $ DEFINE/JOB ARCHIVE_OLD NO $! $ PROD INSTALL VMS82A_TZ/PRODUCER=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V2.0" $! $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP $! $ exit $! Page 7 8.5 Special Installation Instructions: o After kit installation completes you must execute one of the following commands in order to update the logical SYS$TIMEZONE_RULE: - If you are using DTSS (Distributed Time Synchronization Service), execute the command: $ @NET$CONFIGURE.COM - If you are not using DTSS, execute the command: $ @UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM o The following instructions apply to users who have set the time zone to GMT-* or GMTPLUS* : The definition of the timezone names has been changed in the time-zone public database (ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/). The effect of this change is that, after installation of the VMS82A_TZ-V0200 kit, "GMT-" (minus) will now mean "ahead (east) of" Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and "GMTPLUS" will now mean "behind (west) of" GMT. For example, GMT-1 will mean one hour ahead (east) of GMT and the Time Differential Factor (SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL) will be set to "3600". GMTPLUS1 will mean one hour behind (west) of GMT and the SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL will be set to "-3600". This is the opposite meaning of what you are used to. In order to correct for this, after installation of this kit, users must run the SYS$MANAGER:UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM command file and set the timezone to the opposite of what was originally set. For example, if you had previously set the timezone to GMTPLUS*, you must now set the timezone to GMT-* to account for the timezone definition changes. For usage of UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. 9 COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMER: (C) Copyright 2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Confidential computer software.
