Displays a list of software products installed on your system.
Use the /FULL qualifier to display additional information such as
kit type, maintenance activity, and software dependencies.
Format
PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT product-name[,...] [/qualifiers]
1 – Parameter
product-name
Names the product or list of products to include in the display.
This is an optional parameter. If you omit it, the names of all
installed products will be shown.
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.
Parentheses (()) are optional only when you specify a single
base system name. They are required when you specify multiple
base system names.
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 /MAINTENANCE
/MAINTENANCE=(product-name[,...])
Displays the products to which the named maintenance products
have been applied. A maintenance product is either a patch kit or
a mandatory update kit.
Parentheses (()) are optional only when you specify a single
product name. They are required when you specify multiple product
names.
To list all maintenance products that have been applied to a
particular product, use the following command:
PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT product-name /FULL
2.4 /PRODUCER
/PRODUCER=(producer-name[,...])
Selects software products that the specified manufacturer
produces.
Parentheses (()) are optional only when you specify a single
producer name. They are required when you specify multiple
producer names.
2.5 /REFERENCED_BY
/REFERENCED_BY=(product-name[,...])
Displays products that are referenced by the named product.
Use this qualifier to show if the product, specified in the
/REFERENCED_BY qualifier, has a software dependency on the
product or products specified in the product-name parameter of
the SHOW PRODUCT command. If you specify an asterisk (*) as the
product name, all referenced products are listed for the product
named in the /REFERENCED_BY qualifier.
Parentheses (()) are optional only when you specify a single
product name. They are required when you specify multiple product
names.
To list all products that require a specified product to be
installed, use the command:
PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT product-name /FULL /REFERENCED_BY=*
To list all products that are referenced by (that is, required
by) a particular product, use the command:
PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT * /REFERENCED_BY=product-name
To list all products that are referenced by (that is, required
by) other products, use the command:
PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT * /REFERENCED_BY=*
2.6 /REMOTE
/REMOTE
/NOREMOTE (default)
Selects the product database located on a privately mounted
system disk. By default, PCSI searches the currently booted
system disk for the product database.
When you use /REMOTE, the following logical names must be
defined:
o PCSI$SYSDEVICE must specify the physical disk name of the
target system disk. This disk must be mounted and allocated to
the process executing the PRODUCT command.
o PCSI$SPECIFIC must point to a system root on PCSI$SYSDEVICE.
It must be defined in the following form, where x is a valid
system root:
PCSI$SYSDEVICE:[SYSx.]
2.7 /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.
2.8 /VERSION
/VERSION=(version-number[,...])
Selects software products that have the specified version.
Parentheses (()) are optional only when you specify one version
number. They are required when you specify more than one version
number.
3 – Example
$ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT * /REFERENCED_BY=DECNET_OSI
The command in this example lists all products on which the
DECnet-Plus product is dependent.
