Hi, I saw this conversation regarding installing PTF's from the IBM web site directly to the iSeries. How do I get the .exe file to be in binary format (.bin)? E.g. When I downloaded service pack SI24723 it came down as SI24723.EXE and when I FTP it to my iSeries it is still a .exe file. Thanks.

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.)

I currently have it on my PC. I just don't remember how to get it onto my IFS & how to get everything else hooked together. I've done it once before & have misplaced my instructions! Please help!
