VSI$SUPPORT.COM is a DCL script originally authored by Homi Faris of VMS Software, Inc. VSI$SUPPORT.COM gathers hardware and software configuration from an OpenVMS system. The tool provides detailed or summary reports in html or text format. The VSI technical support team recommends downloading the tool and installing it on your OpenVMS systems.

We recommend you install and run vsi$support.com and provide the report whenever you report an issue to VSI technical support. Please download the script, review and output and consider how you can use the tool for your operations requirements. The tool is extensible, and if you have recommendation on other information to gather, please share your thoughts in this topic.

Great tool for anyone who supports VMS systems! It gathers information using commands/qualifiers I have never come across - you learn something new every day...

Something to fix in the next version: when it is executed via SYSMAN (on all nodes in a cluster), SYS$SCRATCH is not defined, resulting in

Code: Select all

$ @sys$update:decw$versions

%ANALYZE-F-OPENOUT, error opening sys$scratch:decw$Get_Image_Version_20F4A805.tmp as output
-RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation
...
DECwindows ident is			
DECwindows server ident is		
DECwindows transport ident is		
DECwindows xlib ident is		
DECwindows OSF/Motif Toolkit ident is	
DECwindows apps ident is		
DECwindows programming ident is		
DECwindows LBX utilities ident is	
DECwindows LBX proxy server ident is

Just nit-picking.
Thanks for the effort you put into it!

Thanks for the reporting the issue when SYS$SCRATCH is not defined, I'll give the feedback to the team.
