PCSI package: platform definition problem
I've got a platform product on which i want to install several products.
These products should install to the rooted logical, defined by the platform, and not to the destination of the platform; and the platform may not be removed if one of the products is still there.
Defining in the .PCSI$DESCRIPTION as optional:
OPTION
SOFTWARE
END OPTION;
will let the product stay on the system when PRODUCT REMOVE
Defining in the .PCSI$DESCRIPTION as required:
SOFTWARE
will install the product with /DESTINATION=
Wat i would like to have is a kinda "preremove" command (compare with preconfigure)
Who can help me out?
Thnx, Bob.

Re: PCSI package: platform definition problem
Having set up PCSI kits on several occasions, I am not sure that I understand the original question in this posting.
Is the foundation product a separate PCSI kit, or is the intent to install several optional products (and use re-configure some of them later)?

Re: PCSI package: platform definition problem
I do have 2 (or more) separate kits, one should establish a common environment (platform) for several other kits.
This "platform" defines a destination (rooted logical) for the other kit.
I want to prevent that the "platform" is removed while the other kit is still present, the "platform" must be able to install without any other kits.
Hope this explains it a bit more...

Re: PCSI package: platform definition problem
I would have to check the manual for how to block removal, if it can be done.
Checking for the presence of the kit is, as I recall supported, however, I still recommend that whatever startup or initialization procedure verify the presence as needed.
PCSI install is a good tool, but it is not a guard against malicious (or inadvertant) actions.

"PCSI install is a good tool, but it is not a guard against malicious (or inadvertant) actions."
I'll keep this in mind when working with PCSI.
