RE: V7R3 media - image catalogs

Change the script to issue the call to the API one time?

Too easy?

Our FTP script runs a series of addimgclge commands after xferring the files
and that cmd doesn't allow for the long file names as delivered by ESS.

Not that I know of. We did our 7.1 to 7.3 upgrade last month, and I

downloaded 70 zipped files from ESS. The pre-upgrade checklist identified
the half dozen we needed, and I loaded those into our image catalog.

Why did you truncate the filenames?

We will be doing some V7R1 to R3 upgrades.

Last we were doing this we had to download tons of .bin files from ESS

using http to a PC, truncate the file names, and then ftp them over to the
IFS to get them into an image catalog.

Has there been any change in the way ESS delivers V7R3 media to let us get

the three primary images with everything we need on it?

Thanks,

Jerry
