Hello Mitchell,

one usefull item has recently been added to the Patch archive:

ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/alpha/V7.3-1/ALPHA_V731_MASTER_ECO_LIST.txt

This gives you an overview about the current patches and coverage by the UPD patch.

Greetings, Martin

This is my favourite site for finding them.
http://ftp.support.compaq.com.au/pub/ecoinfo/ecoinfo/version.htm

note that the austrialian site is no longer being updated. Improvements are being made to itrc and eventually it will have the same features.

[John Gillings]

When referencing the ITRC site, please use the "generic" URL, rather than the geographically specific one. For example:

http://itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

rather than:

http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/patch/mainPage.do

The difference is the latter will only access the USA site, whereas the former will automatically select between all available sites according to locality, availability, and load balancing.

The OpenVMS VAX V6.2 patches with the ZIPEXE suffix are unusable. They require CMA$TIS_SHR 1:6, but the version on V6.2 is only 1:3. Will the HP people that make up patch kits please link them so that they will run on the systems being patched?

That patch site is about as difficult to navigate as any I've ever encountered. I also cannot locate any layered product patches. Where are they?

[Martin P.J. Zinser]

Hello Brian,

how about

ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/layered_products/

Happy holidays,

Martin

Thanks. Where is the link to that location on the patch pages? How is anyone supposed to find that link on their own?
