[Info-vax] OpenVMS I64 V8.4 PCSI upgrade bug

[Stephen Hoffman]

"VMS engineering has a note for you:

Dear VMS Customer,
During the upgrade from HP OpenVMS V8.4 for Integrity servers to VSI 
OpenVMS V8.4-1H1 (or later versions), an extra step is necessary. VMS 
Software, Inc. refers to this as “Rebranding the PCSI Database”. It 
involves:
- Capturing the contents of the system’s PCSI database as Product 
Description Files (PDFs)
- Editing the PDFs to update the producer information of any product 
that is now in the VSI portfolio of products
- Saving the old database for historical access
- Creating a new copy of the database using the edited PDFs
The rebranding code as shipped in OpenVMS V8.4-1H1 is working correctly 
for almost all customers; however, some customers with complex layered 
product installations have experienced problems. VSI apologizes for 
this, and is currently testing fixes for all known problems.
