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.
