4.2.5 /LOG
/LOG
/NOLOG (default)
Displays the file specification of the release notes file that is
created.
4.2.6 /OPTIONS
/OPTIONS=keyword
/NOOPTIONS (default)
Specifies PRODUCT command options. The keywords are:
NOCONFIRM Omits the confirmation dialog that asks the user
to verify the products that have been selected
for the operation.
The NOCONFIRM and NODEFAULT_KIT keywords are
mutually exclusive.
NODEFAULT_KIT Directs the utility to query the user instead
of choosing a default kit when more than one
kit that matches the selection criteria for the
product is found in the source directory path.
The selection criteria include the producer,
base system, product name, and product version
strings that are embedded in the file name of a
kit.
If multiple kits are found for a selected
product, and NODEFAULT_KIT is not specified,
the utility determines the default kit to use by
applying the following rules:
1. The last character of the kit's file name
(1-7) is used to order the kits by kit type.
In descending order, the precedence is as
follows: full, operating system, partial,
patch, platform, transition, and mandatory
update.
2. The file type is used to order the kits
by format. In descending order, the
precedence is as follows: compressed
(.PCSI$COMPRESSED), sequential (.PCSI), and
reference (.PCSI$DESCRIPTION).
3. If multiple kits are found with the same
file name and file type, but differ in their
directory path names, the case of their file
specifications, or their file versions, then
the first file found by RMS search rules
takes precedence.
The NODEFAULT_KIT and NOCONFIRM keywords are
mutually exclusive.
NOVALIDATE_KIT Disables validation of software product kits
that are signed and have a manifest file in the
source directory.
4.2.7 /PRODUCER
/PRODUCER=producer-name
Selects software products that the specified manufacturer
produces.
4.2.8 /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 that the logical name
PCSI$SOURCE defines. If PCSI$SOURCE is not defined, and the
/SOURCE qualifier is not specified, PCSI searches the current
default directory.
4.2.9 /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.
4.2.10 /VERSION
/VERSION=version-number
Selects software products that have the specified version.
4.2.11 /WORK
/WORK=device:[directory]
Specifies the name of the device and directory acting as a
temporary work area. By default, temporary files are created
in subdirectories of the user's login directory.
4.3 – Example
$ PRODUCT EXTRACT RELEASE_NOTES XYZ /VERSION=2.3/FILE=[RN]XYZ.TXT
The command in this example places the release notes for
Version 2.3 of the product XYZ in a file named [RN]XYZ.TXT
on your current default device.
