Re: PTF application order

I always get my cume's via ftp and not media.  And I use these steps:
CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT) ONLINE(*YES) TEXT('Virtual optical 
drive for image catalog')
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DIR('/fixes') TEXT('PTF image catalog')
Once you get the email and ftp the files down into this '/fixes' directory 
you'll have to do the following for each binary file(s) received:
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE('/fixes/TheFtpFileNameHere') 
TOFILE(*FROMFILE) REPLACE(*INSERT)
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DEV(OPTVRT01)
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES)
WRKIMGCLGE PTFCATALOG
GO PTF
8. Install program temporary fix package

                 Install Options for Program Temporary Fixes 
                                                            System:   GDI 
Type choices, press Enter. 
 
  Device  . . . . . . . . .   OPTVRT01     Name, *SERVICE 
 
  Automatic IPL . . . . . .   N            Y=Yes 
                                           N=No


You could probably just change the ADDIMGCLG to specify the OPT01 instead 
of a directory.  Remember, you can use these steps to load the whole OS 
media into virtual image so why should cume be any different?
