Re: PTF Steps?

[Peter Levy <plevy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I normally FTP them from IBM directly to the iSeries, but no matter...

First FTP it from your PC to the /tmp IFS directory:
- FTP <iseries.system.name or ip-address>
- cd /tmp
- lcd /mylocalptfdirectory
- bin
- put <binaryfile>.bin
- quit
Then do the following to create a virtual CD drive & image catalog and 
install the PTFs:
- CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT)
- VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
- CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) DIR('/ptfinstall') CRTDIR(*YES)
- ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) FROMFILE('/tmp/<binary file>.bin')
- LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) DEV(OPTVRT01)
- VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFINSTALL) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES)
- INSPTF LICPGM((*ALL)) DEV(OPTVRT01) INSTYP(*DLYALL) (Note: If this 
command doesn't exist on your system then do GO PTF, option 8.)
