Appendix D. PSP ONLINE INITIALIZATION

Each time you invoke PSP Online, it runs an initialization
process.  During initialization, PSP Online performs a
variety of functions in response to your site's environment.
These environmental conditions are:

o  A completely or partially uninitialized PSP Online system

o  A newly-installed PSP distribution

o  New product changes delivered in PSP format as on-request
   upgrades

o  A flag indicating that a product change apply job
   completed successfully

Each time you invoke PSP Online, the dialog checks if one or
more of these conditions exists.  If so, PSP Online responds
by requesting necessary information and then automatically
updates the appropriate PSP Online tables with new product
change and parameter information.

As a user of PSP Online, you need to respond only to the
panels displayed to you.  Knowledge of how the mechanism
works is not required to operate it, but a little background
may help to orient the new user.

This appendix describes the initialization process and
briefly describes how PSP Online records information when a
product change is applied to your CA MICS system:
