Hi Everyone,
I recently upgraded our HP 3000 969-ks/400 from MPE 6.0pp2 to 7.0
express 1. I followed the instructions in the Software Maintenance
Manual, and all the steps there went okay. The process asked for the FOS
tape, our prod/subsys tape, and the express 1 tape. However, when I do
:SHOWME
USER: #S52,MANAGER.SYS,JOHN (NOT IN BREAK)
RELEASE: C.70.00 MPE/iX HP31900 C.39.06 USER VERSION: C.70.00
CURRENT: THU, AUG 29, 2002, 2:44 PM
LOGON: THU, AUG 29, 2002, 2:37 PM
CPU SECONDS: 1 CONNECT MINUTES: 7
$STDIN LDEV: 226 $STDLIST LDEV: 226
It appears not to know that I've put the express 1 patches on. Our
N-Class box, which came with 7.0 Express 1 pre-loaded reports:
/showme
USER: #S2107,MGR.ISU,JOHN (IN PROGRAM)
RELEASE: C.70.01 MPE/iX HP31900 C.39.06 USER VERSION: C.70.01
CURRENT: THU, AUG 29, 2002, 2:46 PM
LOGON: THU, AUG 29, 2002, 11:26 AM
CPU SECONDS: 1 CONNECT MINUTES: 200
$STDIN LDEV: 384 $STDLIST LDEV: 384
Furthermore, when I print the first few lines of HPSWINFO.PUB.SYS, I get
the following:
:print hpswinfo.pub.sys
*******************************************************************
** **
** *** MPE/iX MIT C.70.00 *** **
** POWERPATCH C7001 P6 **
** THU, MAR 1, 2001, 5:02 PM **
** **
** LIST OF HEWLETT PACKARD COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE PRODUCTS **
While on our N-Class box with 7.0 express 1 preinstalled:
/print hpswinfo.pub.sys
*******************************************************************
** **
** *** MPE/iX MIT C.70.01 *** **
** POWERPATCH C7001 P6 **
** TUE, MAY 22, 2001, 12:47 PM **
** **
So, even though I followed all the steps, and they all looked like they
ran properly, it doesn't appear that I got the Express 1 installed
properly. Is there any other way for me to tell? If the install didn't
go correctly, can I just reinstall the Express 1 as a PowerPatch, or do
I need to do the complete reinstall process again.
Thanks!

This topic has been beaten to death before, but you're correct that a
factory preload with a powerpatch shows a version bump, while doing it
yourself does not. It you look around line 283 in your HPSWINFO listing it
should say C7001 P6, meaning you installed PP1. More than likely if
everything went as the instructions said, you are on 7.0 PP1. You could
also check some of the fixed programs versions. According to my HPSWINFO,
QUERY should be version D.03.20 in PP1, and Allbase should be A.G3.22. Do a
version in Query, or run SQLVER.PUB.SYS for Allbase to check versions.
