INTRODUCTION:

HP has developed DCL procedures to assess the readiness of HP OpenVMS systems for U.S. 2007 Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes, including changes adapted by Canada.  The unsupported procedures evaluate different aspects of a system HP has found to be areas that may require changes.  The procedures report if a DST ready patch has been installed for the OS, and JavaŠ.

The unsupported procedures perform a simple system assessment; They do not ready a system for the U.S. 2007 Daylight Saving Time changes.


WHAT IT DOES:

The procedure, dstivp.com. Test the following:

  • Test OS readiness (via a small pre-built C application - run
  • Java inventory (Of Java installed using PCSI)
  • Test all Java versions and give recommendations
  • Summary report
     

JAVA DETAILS:

This procedures uses the following rules to test any Java version to confirm this is a valid Java directory:

  • Java Setup filename matches java$*setup.com
  • The match from above can properly configured Java for testing
  • <jre tree)/lib/rtjar.jar
  • <jre tree>/bin/java -version (must return a valid version )

Note: Any Java not found with this directory tree structure will not be tested (or reported).  In addition, any Java not found in the PCSI database will not be tested (or reported).  (See "Search for Java version not installed with PCSI" in the readme.txt)

Usages:

   SYSLCK - Required to read the PCSI database
