What patches do I have?

[Tschroeder]

Is there a way in OpenVMS to determine what patches (ECOs) have been installed on a machine?

[Hein van den Heuvel · Accepted solution]

Just a second ago I needed that and I typed in...

$ PRODUCT SHOW HIST *


The top lines were all that I needed to know...

Hein.

Also $type sys$update:vmsinstal.history; ... depending on which version of VMS and platform you have.

Best
John.

The previous three replies answer the question you asked.

Sometimes that question is being asked in the context of "What other patches do I need to install to be current". If that is where you are headed, PointSecure has a great little tool to analyze the patches on your VMS system. And the tool is free! http://www.pointsecure.com/products/patch_anl.aspx
