RE: Tracking PTF media

My systems are in different states connected over VPN. I don't think I'd want to chance a network based drive.

I order PTFs via FTP and wrote a command that I just plug in the
password they send, the directory & my local credentials for our LPARs
and it downloads the PTFs, loads them into an image catalog, FTPs the
PTFs to all of the other LPARs and loads them into image catalogs and
then it's a simple GO PTF option 8...but that's just me :)


Thanks,
