RE: image catalog problem on V7R1 SF99710

Paul,

No since you have current PTFs you have current code. If you were to use
option 40 on the LICPGM menu, you would create the equivalent of the current
spin on the website (or maybe a bit more current). We use the respin only
when the code is backlevel on PTFs and we need to jump a TR or there are
other concerns.

We have customers that installed with the "A" spin that are as current as
you are.

Jim,



My CUM, TR, and all Groups are current.

But my resave level is RE13015 - RS-710-G, 9 levels back.

Do I need to be concerned about updating or getting current resave - RE16082
- RS-710-S?

I will be going to V7R3 within 6 months, which will include the latest V7R3
resave.



Paul

Paul,



Highly unlikely but possible. Honestly I've not seen the issues described

in this thread and we do this process 10 times/month.



Everyone:



First at V7R1 unless PTFs have not been applied for literally years, the
code on the system would be at the most recent resave anyway, so I'm not

sure why the concern with it. Remember PTFs will bring the system up to

that level. Download the new ones and you have what you need.



My thinking is there is a fault somewhere in the download or process to

build the image catalogs. I'd reorder, download with FTP (and FTP only!

And DO NOT use FileZilla!) and try it again. Download Director and direct
download with SNDPTFORD cause us so many more issues that I've stopped any
of our technicians from using those. The corruption rate on those downloads
is very high, and the image catalog will verify since that process does not
dig all that deep into the images.



Sometimes Stone Age tools just work the best. (How many times while camping
did you just use a rock instead of going all the way back to the truck for a

hammer?)

Rob,



Maybe I asked the wrong question.

Can you have all the latest code contained in the latest resave, (ordered
from MF PTFs), but the resave marker PTF is old because a resave wasn't
ordered.

Paul,



Did you really want to know how to check what level of resave one is at?

Or, were you trying to tell me that people will not bother to chase down a
link, such as the one I posted

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1022066

and that I need to put the instructions in the message body? And that is
why you had your instructions right below your question?

Rob,



How can one tell what your current resave level is?

V7R1, I'm on latest TR Level -11, latest CUM, 17192.

The marker PTF for the resave is old- RE13015

It was latest slip from last week.

Bull<excrement>

IBM hasn't generated a new resave for IBM i 7.1 since May of 2016.



I didn't ask when you downloaded it, put it on, etc. I asked what level of
resave it was.

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1022066



But if your point is that you downloaded it just last week from ESS then
you're "probably" at the latest resave. However, I follow the "trust, but
verify" mentality.

Thanks rob. It was latest slip from last week. I found one Ptf and it was
applied.



I will call ibm this morning

I would think a recent resave would have most of those image catalog

issues beat into submission. If you are on a more recent resave then

you

might want to open a ticket with IBM. The usual questions:

When you FTP'd the file to your IBM i did you use binary?

Then I would:

solutions

to get that joblog to your PC

Attach that to the PMR when you first open it.

As part of my V7R3 upgrade of 4 partitions, I slip installed V7R1 on a

partition.



I want to apply the latest CUM. I had downloaded and created and

image catalog on one partition already. It loaded and verified fine.



I FTP'd the files to the latest Slip'ed partition, try to load it,

file SF99701_1.bin goes to error.



OK, FTP it again. Same thing.



Tried doing a CPY to QFILESVR.400, load it, same error.



Is it possible I need a PTF on the partition to fix image catalogs?

I've been googling but the results are mostly about how to use image

catalogs.

I'm going onto fix central next.



Any ideas while I keep searching?



Thanks, Art
