Re: Copying PTF CD's to IFS

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the ISO is already on the IFS (per instructions below) then specify 
*FROMFILE instead of *GEN on ADDIMGCLGE or it will create a second ISO 
(unneeded) and take muuuuuuccccccchhhhhh longer.

It will �register� the existing bin file to the image catalog. This will save space by using only one copy of the image (the TOFILE(*FROMFILE) parameter will do this IF the folder referenced in the FROMFILE is the same folder as identified in the DIR parameter in the CRTIMGCLG command) : ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE('/fixes/TheFtp.binFileNameHere') TOFILE(*FROMFILE) REPLACE(*INSERT)
