Displays the names of software product kits located in the specified directory, along with kit type and kit format information. Format PRODUCT FIND product-name[,...] [/qualifiers]
1 – Parameter
product-name Names the product, or list of products to find.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /BASE_SYSTEM
/BASE_SYSTEM=base-system-name Selects software products whose base system matches the one specified. The base system name identifies both a hardware platform and an operating system. Standard names are: Name Description AXPVMS Denotes an OpenVMS Alpha product. I64VMS Denotes an OpenVMS I64 product. VAXVMS Denotes an OpenVMS VAX product. VMS Indicates a product that can be installed on more than one OpenVMS platform.
2.2 /FULL
/FULL /NOFULL (default) Displays information in 132-column format. The /NOFULL qualifier displays a subset of available information in 80-column format.
2.3 /KIT_ATTRIBUTES
/KIT_ATTRIBUTES=keyword([,...]) Selects kits by kit type or kit format, or both. Keywords are: FORMAT= Designates the format of the product kit as follows: format-type COMPRESSED Compressed format in which a data compression technique has been applied to a sequential kit. A compressed kit has a .PCSI$COMPRESSED file type. REFERENCE Reference format in which product files exist in a directory tree. A .PCSI$DESCRIPTION file in the top level of the directory tree denotes a reference kit. SEQUENTIAL Sequential format in which product files are placed in a container file. A file type of .PCSI indicates a sequential kit. TYPE= Specifies the type of product kit as follows: kit-type FULL Layered product (application) software. OPERATING_ Operating system software. SYSTEM MANDATORY_ A required correction to currently UPDATE installed software. Functionally, this type of kit is the same as a patch kit. PARTIAL An upgrade to currently installed software. Installation of this kit changes the version of the product. PATCH A correction to currently installed software. Installation of this kit does not change the version of the product. PLATFORM An integrated set of software products (also called a product suite). TRANSITION Used to register information about a product that is installed but not recorded in the product database (for example, a product installed by VMSINSTAL). This kit does not provide product material.
2.4 /PRODUCER
/PRODUCER=producer-name Selects software products that the specified manufacturer produces.
2.5 /SOURCE
/SOURCE=device-name:[directory-name] Specifies the disk and directory where the utility searches for the software product kit or kits. If /SOURCE is not specified, the utility searches in the location defined by the logical name PCSI$SOURCE. If PCSI$SOURCE is not defined, and the /SOURCE qualifier is not specified, PCSI searches the current default directory.
2.6 /SPAN_VERSIONS
/SPAN_VERSIONS=keyword([,...]) Selects software products whose versions match the specified version criteria. The keywords are: ABOVE=version Selects versions greater than the version specified BELOW=version Selects versions less than the version specified MINIMUM=version Selects versions greater than or equal to the version specified MAXIMUM=version Selects versions less than or equal to the version specified The ABOVE, BELOW, MINIMUM, and MAXIMUM keywords can be used alone or in combination. For example, /SPAN_VERSIONS= (MINIMUM=V2.1,BELOW=V3.0) selects versions greater than or equal to V2.1 and less than (but not including) V3.0. Using the MAXIMUM keyword instead of BELOW would select versions that include V3.0.
2.7 /VERSION
/VERSION=version-number Selects software products that have the specified version.
3 – Example
$ PRODUCT FIND TEST* /BASE_SYSTEM=VAXVMS The command in this example searches for all software product kits located in the user's default directory and displays the names of all versions of products whose names begin with "TEST" and are intended to be installed on OpenVMS VAX.
