Restoring TCPIP DCL commands

[issinoho]

If you normally run VSI TCPIP but have installed Multinet (or possibly TCPware) then some common utility commands will be overwritten in the system DCLTABLES, i.e.

FINGER, FTP, RCP, RLOGIN, RPCGEN, RSHELL, SCP2, SFTP2, SSH, SSH2, and TELNET.

If you subsequently want to revert back to VSI TCPIP then the original DCL commands won't work and there is no easy way to revert/restore them.

The best/only way I've found (short of a re-install) is to extract the CLD files from the TCPIP installation kit and manually install each one.

Code: Select all

$ prod ext file tcpip /sel=*.cld /source=dka100:[TCPIP_ALPHA_V0507-13ECO5F.kit]
$ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables ftp
$ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables telnet
$ set command /table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables /output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables <utility>
$ install replace sys$common:[syslib]dcltables

Logout and back in and the commands should be restored!
