To make a product list using HPINSTAL, reply with the list of product numbers when
prompted for them. After you finish entering the list, HPINSTAL asks you to verify that the
list of products is correct and then saves the list in the file PRODLIST.PUB.SYS.
Creating a Local PRODLIST
A local product list is useful when you regularly use one production system to create
CSLTs to be loaded onto other systems. Many large installations will purchase a large set
of products and will install a subset of the products onto different customized systems. For
this purpose, you can create a local product list that specifies the exact products you want
to be on the CSLT.
NOTE
The local product list in PRODLIST.INSTALL.SYS must be a subset of the
products listed in PRODLIST.PUB.SYS.
To make the local product list:
1. Use any text editor to create a text file.
2. List the products to install. Type only the product numbers one per line.
3. Save the file and call it PRODLIST.INSTALL.SYS.
The contents of the local product list look the same as the master product list. It usually
contains fewer product numbers.
HPINSTAL first looks for the local PRODLIST file in the INSTALL group. If located, the local
PRODLIST file is used instead of the master file in PUB.SYS.
