Re: image catalog iso's

I believe *GEN always makes a copy. *FROMFILE will use the same name for the image. It always wants the images in the directory where the *IMGCLDG is set to - I ran into this. So if you have your *IMGCLG PTF defined to be in /tmp/ptf, then be sure that you put your downloaded images there, as well. If not, there will be a copy made there, of the same name as the original, if you use *FROMFILE, or a system-generated name, if you use *GEN. I did not have room for an entire cume set in the directory for the catalog, so put them into an IASP - different directory - when adding to the catalog, ran out of space again - copies were made.

I think the *gen or *fromfile is what I was missing.

thx.

Hi Jerry

Can probably be removed but save them first and verify the image catalog
after :)

If you prompt the ADDIMGCLGE command there's an option (I forget the name)
to either *GEN or *FROMFILE the image catalog file in the IFS. If I have the
images in a directory I generally use *FROMFILE so it uses the file already
there; if building from CD I use *GEN.

Hope this helps (and that I've remembered it correctly)

Subject: image catalog iso's

Here's a frag of my cumptf image catalog:

Catalog . . : PTFC8057 St
Type . . . . : Optical De
Directory . : /optvrt/PTF/cum8057

Opt Index Status Image File Name
*AVAIL
.............
3 Loaded SF99317_1.bin01
4 Loaded SF99317_2.bin01
5 Loaded SF99317_3.bin01
6 Loaded SF99317_4.bin01
7 Loaded SF99317_5.bin01

These were iso's downloaded from fix central.

Here's a frag of the folder where these iso's live on the IFS:

SF99317_1.bin
SF99317_1.bin01
SF99317_2.bin
SF99317_2.bin01
SF99317_3.bin
SF99317_3.bin01
SF99317_4.bin
SF99317_4.bin01
SF99317_5.bin
SF99317_5.bin01

When I ran ADDIMGCLG for each ISO downloaded from fix central a second
ISO was created for each ISO.

Is the first ISO still needed or is it really just a work file that can
be removed.
