1 /ALL
Uninstalls all patch and mandatory updates for which recovery
data has been saved. Once the operation completes, all the
recovery data sets are deleted and cannot be reused. If you do
not specify the /ALL, /NEWEST, or /SINCE qualifier, only the most
recently created recovery data set is used to select patches and
mandatory updates to remove.
2 /LOG
/LOG
/NOLOG (default)
Displays the file specifications of files as they are accessed;
also provides other information related to file activity. For
example, when logging is enabled, messages notify you when
product files, libraries, directories, and product database files
are created, deleted, or modified.
3 /NEWEST
/NEWEST=count
Selects the most recently created patch recovery data sets. For
example, if you specify /NEWEST=3, the PRODUCT UNDO PATCH command
uninstalls patches using data from the three newest recovery data
sets. If you do not specify a number with this qualifier, the
default value is 1.
4 /OPTIONS
/OPTIONS=keyword
/NOOPTIONS (default)
Specifies PRODUCT command options. The keyword is:
NOCONFIRM Omits the confirmation dialog that asks the user
to verify the recovery data sets that have been
selected for processing.
5 /REMOTE
/REMOTE
/NOREMOTE (default)
Selects recovery data sets located on a privately mounted system
disk and restores the product database to this disk. By default,
PCSI searches the currently booted system disk for recovery data
sets.
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.]
6 /SINCE
/SINCE=time
Selects recovery data sets that were created on or after the
specified date and time. You can specify time as an absolute
time, as a combination of absolute and delta times, or as one of
the following keywords:
TODAY (default)
YESTERDAY
For information about specifying time values, see the OpenVMS
User's Manual.
7 /TRACE
/TRACE
/NOTRACE (default)
Identifies the creation and deletion of subprocesses and the DCL
commands and command procedures submitted to these subprocesses
for execution during the processing of the PRODUCT command.
Messages log the creation and deletion of scratch directories and
temporary files that the PCSI utility provides for the subprocess
environment. Any output that DCL produces is also displayed.
This qualifier is primarily a debugging aid for product
developers to trace the execution of command procedures included
in their product kits. See the POLYCENTER Software Installation
Utility Developer's Guide for more information.
