Re: Upgrading V5R2 to V5R3 using Image Catalogs

Hi Evan
A small thing, maybe, but I can load all the CDs into a PTF image catalog, then fire it off and not have to be there to load the next one in.
The other is that you don't need to have physical CDs - if you can tolerate the download time, get the PTFs through FTP and load the image catalog from the downloaded images. I do not recommend this with CUMEs, as the download time is almost as long as getting the CDs delivered.
I find I like getting pre & coreqs when using the FTP method - helps assure getting what is needed. So this, in combination with image catalogs, is a useful strategy. 

JMHO

HI Vern
Taking into account the fact that you can apply PTF's delayed, why do you see Image catalogs as handy for PTF installation other than as part of an OS upgrade ? I'm just curious as to whether there might be an additional benefit I have missed somewhere :)

Evan Harris

Good to hear, Antonio. Image catalogs are a very nice way to do upgrades and put on PTFs. 

Good luck
Vern
