Hi,

I've been trying to get the download capability of cume ptf's to work for us
through Fix Central. It SAYS and APPEARS to be working, but when I try to
load the images to a virtual device, it fails.

First of all, the files are being downloaded directly to the iSeries. It
creates the directory and lists the files it's creating. The sizes are
listed and you can see continual updates of the files being populated.
However, when the download completes (hours later), the files do not even
approach the number of bytes in size (almost 20 gigabytes in aggregate) that
the download indicated were being transferred. Also, more than a few of the
files said to be transferred do not exist on the iSeries after the transfer.

Second, when I do get a complete set of files transferred, and try to load
them into a catalog image, that fails as well. The error message implies
the binary data downloaded is not in fact an image.

Has anyone encountered this? I know I've downloaded PTFs before, but never
an entire cume. And I never attempted to create a virtual image before. I
always burned CDs.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Tom Garvey
