OpenVMS VMS62TO71_PCSI-V0200 VAX V6.2 and V7.1 PCSI ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS VMS62TO71_PCSI-V0200 VAX V6.2 and V7.1 PCSI ECO Summary
 
Modification Date:  03-MAY-2000
Modification Type:  Updated Kit:  Supersedes VMS62TO71_PCSI-V0100

NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe.  The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

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.

     and  the  DWMOTIF  product  (in  the  example  above),  do the
     following:

             $ 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 because these releases already include the functionality 
     provided by this remedial kit.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, all processes will need to log out and then back in to use
the new PRODUCT command qualifiers and keywords.
