ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. The PMSysLev Utility ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The PMSysLev Utility provides you with a VX-REXX dialog that will locate all
SYSLEVEL information within your system and display it in an OS/2 notebook
format. This can be particularly useful when trying to determine if a certain
level of maintenance needs to be applied to your system.
Note: If you have more than one verion of OS/2 on your hard drive and it can
be accessed through the currently active partition, this utility's search
mechanism will find those files as well!
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Using the PMSysLev Utility ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The operation of this utility is simple: Click on the icon that was created
during the installation, and this utility will invoke the OS/2 SYSLEVEL command
in the background. This will run for different amounts of time on different
systems. A "please wait" message is displayed during this portion of the
utility's processing.
After all of the data has been obtained and processed, the message will be
cleared and a notebook will be created. Each of the pages contains information
for each product that was found during the search. The pages are listed based
on the results of the SYSLEVEL command; however, they are sorted by directory,
path, and file name. The notebook tabs are the file extensions of the
products.
The following information is presented:
Title
Location
Version
Component ID
Type (if any)
Current CSD level
Previous CSD level
You can manuever through the notebook by using the arrows located in the
lower, right-hand portion of the notebook page. Alternatively, you can scroll
through the pages using the PageUp and PageDown keys. After you have clicked
once on any of the notebook pages, the Home key will display the first
notebook tab and the End key will display the last notebook tab.
If you want to view the notebook tabs sorted alphabetically, click on Options,
select Sort notebook, and then select Tab. The notebook will be refreshed,
and the pages will be displayed in the new sort order. To return to the
original display, repeat the process and select Location
Please note:
It is possible to have more than one version of a product's SYSLEVEL file
installed on your system; they can appear in different directories!
The SYSLEVEL command sorts output based on a directory sort. However,
when sorting by Location, the output is sorted based on the entire
string. The resulting notebook pages may not be in the same order as
that of the command.
