Appendix F
NEW_OVER and NEW_UNDER Files

This appendix lists files installed either over or under existing files during an upgrade.

F.1 Where Files Are Installed

During an upgrade, the procedure replaces certain files that exist on your system with new versions of those files from the OpenVMS VAX distribution kit. For some system files, the upgrade procedure does not replace your existing system files, which might contain customizations for your site. Instead, the procedure retains your existing file and installs the new file from the kit at a version number higher or at a version number lower than your existing file.

You can use the DCL command DIFFERENCES to compare the contents of your existing files and the contents of the new files provided by OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2. Enter the command using the following syntax:

DIFFERENCES/OUTPUT=filespec existing_filename new_filename 

The /OUTPUT qualifier causes the DIFFERENCES command to write the list of differences to the output file you specify. This output file has the default file type .DIF. For more information about using the DIFFERENCES command, refer to the OpenVMS DCL Dictionary.

New files that the procedure installs at a version number higher than your existing files are referred to as new_over files. You must use these files at least until you complete the upgrade. After you have upgraded your system, you can add your customizations to these files.

New files installed at a version number lower than the existing files are referred to as new_under files. This allows you to continue to use your existing files during and after the upgrade.

If you purge a new_over file, you are left with the new version of the file provided by the distribution kit, and any customizations you made to the existing file are lost. If you purge a new_under file, you are left with the file that existed before the upgrade.

In addition to the new_over and new_under files, there are certain files that are intended to contain your site-specific modifications. During an upgrade, the old versions of these files are retained if they were present before the upgrade. The new version of the file is installed only if no old version is present on your system. With the exception of TFF$STARTUP.COM, there is a corresponding .TEMPLATE file for each of the site-specfic files. The new version of the .TEMPLATE file replaces the old version.

F.1.1 NEW_OVER Files

During an upgrade, the following new files are installed over (that is, at a version number higher than) the existing files:

F.1.2 NEW_UNDER Files

During an upgrade, the following new files are installed under (that is, at a version number lower than) the existing files:

F.1.3 Site-Specific Files

The following files are intended to contain site-specific modifications. Note that, with the exception of TFF$STARTUP.COM, there is a corresponding .TEMPLATE file for each of these files. The new version of the .TEMPLATE file replaces the old version.
