247.0. "ECO installation record in VMS? WHERE?" by SALEM::GWCOOP::GWCOOP (DSM @NIO, Salem N.H.) Tue Feb 25 1997 13:43

    
    
    Please
    
    	 Does anyone know where to lookj it fing a record of ECO installs
    	in VMS 6.2?  The ECO's are not listed in PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCE or
    	the vmsinstal history files.  A Custome wants to SEE a record of
    	the ECO being installed?  pointers?

No there is no way to see *exactly* which kits have been installed.  The 
closest we come to is doing a DIRECTORY SYS$HELP:*.RELEASE_NOTES and 
looking thru these files.  Usually if there are Release Notes for a patch 
kit in SYS$HELP then the kit has been installed.  If you have questions on 
a particular kit you can look at the ECO_SUMMARY article for the kit in 
STARS and find the information needed to see if the files on disk are the 
same or different than the ones in the kit.

A little more information.  There is nothing within VMS that will do this.  
The GOLD team in the US CSC has a PROPATCH utility that collects 
information from a customer system and then that information is checked 
against a CSC database.  This is done free of charge for GOLD customers and 
as a revenue item for all others.
