RE: Image Catalog Caveats?

What are you specifying in the TYPE param of the VFYIMGCLG command?

It defaults to *UPGRADE which is not what you want.

Make sure you are using:

VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(IMGCATALOG) TYPE(*OTHER)

Note that with TYPE(*OTHER) SORT is not used.

HTH,

Subject: Image Catalog Caveats?

I've been trying to install the Java Toolbox (5722JC1) onto an i5 a 
state away by utilizing an image catalog. The image catalog 
part of the 
equation appears to be working fine until I try to verify it after 
loading the disc image I created from a CD.

I created a virtual optical drive and varied it on:
CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT) ONLINE(*YES) TEXT('Virtual 
optical drive for image catalog.')
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)

I created an image catalog:
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(IMGCATALOG) DIR('/IMGCatalog') CRTDIR(*YES) 
TEXT('image 
catalog')

I created a level 1 iso 9660 disc image and copied it to /IMGCatalog' 
then added it to the image catalog:
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(IMGCATALOG) FROMFILE('/IMGCatalog/D2924_04.iso') 
TOFILE(*FROMFILE) REPLACE(*INSERT)

I loaded the image catalog unto the virtual optical drive:
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(IMGCATALOG) DEV(OPTVRT01)

Then failure:
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(IMGCATALOG) SORT(*YES)

Any pointers on where I might have gone wrong  would be helpful.

David Gibbs and these links have been helpful to me:
