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.
