HP BA322 90087 - Manual (Page 151)

If you do not want to use a node-specific welcome file, you can optionally define the logical in
SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to display a message, such as in the following example:
$ DEFINE SYS$WELCOME “Welcome to node HOMER”
For more information about creating login welcome messages, see the HP OpenVMS System
Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
7.11 Examining Your Command Procedures (Upgrades Only)
The upgrade procedure retains the site-specific versions of the following files located in the
[VMS$COMMON] directory:
• [SYSMGR]LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM
• [SYSMGR]LOGIN.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYCONFIG.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYLOGICALS.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYLOGIN.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYPAGSWPFILES.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYSECURITY.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYSHUTDWN.COM
• [SYSMGR]SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM
• [SYSMGR]TFF$SYSTARTUP.COM
• [SYSMGR]WELCOME.TXT
• [SYS$STARTUP]ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT
The upgrade procedure might provide new templates for some of these files with the .TEMPLATE
file extension. The new templates might include features that are not in your site-specific files.
Check the templates against your site-specific files and edit your files as necessary.
NOTE: As of Version 8.3 of OpenVMS, the DCL command DECRAM has been removed because
it conflicts with the new DECRYPT command (DECRYPT overwrites the default definition of
DECR, which you might have been using to run DECram). You should update any command
procedures that use the DECRAM command so that they use the foreign command style of DCL
to run DECRAM:
$ DECRAM == "$MDMANAGER"
This change affects only the use of the DCL command; all other aspects of the DECram product
remain the same.
7.12 Adding and Removing Operating System Files (Optional)
If you decide after the installation or upgrade to change which OpenVMS operating system files
you want installed on your system, you can use the menu system contained on the OpenVMS
operating system media to add or remove files.
NOTE: You can obtain information about individual system files by entering the HELP
SYS_FILES command at the dollar sign prompt ($).
IMPORTANT: Unless you have a specific need to exclude operating system files from your
system disk, HP strongly recommends that you accept the defaults and install all files that are
part of OpenVMS. In general, limited disk space is not a good reason to exclude files; problems
encountered when needed files are missing can cost much more than the cost of a larger disk.
To add or remove operating system files:
1. Mount and boot the OpenVMS operating system media.
