913.0. "DCLTables in the Specific root" by KERNEL::COOPER (Suzanne Cooper UK Customer Support (833)3502) Tue Jun 23 1992 13:14

    In the release notes it states that DCLtables should be in the common
    root, and not the specific root.  Why? will the instalation fail if the
    tables are not in the common root.
    
    I have a customer who want to install ALL-IN-1 on one node in the cluster 
    only so he need to update the specific root DCLtables,  The release notes
    imply that you need to rename the specific root tables to the common
    root then rename them back again after the installation.  I hope this
    is not the case. Can someone confirm ?

913.1It's the way VMSINSTAL works...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeTue Jun 23 1992 17:2610
    An installation of *ANY* layered product that uses VMSINSTAL to provide
    a DCL command will fail in the specified circumstance.
    
    This is just the way VMSINSTAL works. This, of course, doesn't help you
    with your customer, but that's why it's in our Release Notes.
    
    IM(H)O it should be a bug against VMSINSTAL and in the VMS release
    notes, but what do I know :-)

913.2An Important Release NoteAIMTEC::WICKS_ADEC Mail Works for ME sometimesTue Jun 23 1992 19:5612
    Suzanne,
                  
    As GAP says Engineering-wise it's a VMS bug however the customer will
    see it when they install ALL-IN-1 v3.0 and the install did fail on a
    number of systems over here during Field Test so the Release Note is
    there for a good reason.

913.4And another thing . . .WAYLND::HOWARDOur business is computers not moneyWed Jun 24 1992 19:108
    Of course, the customer can backup the common copy and restore it
    afterwards, then apply the command with SET COMMAND to the specific
    table.  Another bug here which I SPR'd to VMS, but never heard back on
    was that VMSINSTAL should not purge DCLTABLES.EXE if you are in a
    cluster, even if you do say you want to purge files.  Everytime I do an
    ANAL/DISK/REPAIR SYS$SYSDEVICE: I get endless references to DCLTABLES.
