Qualifiers

 

/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.
 

/LOG
      /LOG
      /NOLOG (default)

   Displays the file specification of each file processed. When
   logging is enabled, messages notify you whenever product files,
   libraries, directories, and product database files are created,
   deleted, or modified.
 

/OPTIONS
      /OPTIONS=(keyword[,...])
      /NOOPTIONS (default)

   Specifies PRODUCT command options. Keywords are:

   NOCONFIRM        Omits the confirmation dialog that asks the user
                    to verify the products that have been selected
                    for the operation.

   SHOW_DISK_USAGE  Displays estimated disk block usage. Both peak
                    utilization and net change are shown in addition
                    to the amount of free space available before and
                    after the operation.
 

/PRODUCER
      /PRODUCER=producer-name

   Selects software products that the specified manufacturer
   produces.
 

/REMARK
      /REMARK=string

   Records a comment in the product database about the task you
   are performing. The PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY command displays the
   recorded comments. For each product, PCSI stores a chronological
   list of tasks you perform and the associated remarks. The default
   behavior is that no remark is recorded.
 

/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.]
 

/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.
   Also shows 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.
 

/VERSION
      /VERSION=version-number

   Selects software products that have the specified version.
 

/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 the user's login directory.
