Thanks for slapping that into my head.  Pi$$ed away a few hours yesterday 
waiting for ADDIMGCLGE to complete.

RE: ADDIMGCLGE










Rob  did you get the note about ho to not have the files duplicated??
I use the following

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTF19)
           FROMFILE('/fixes/P19/iptf0019_1.bin')
           TOFILE(*FROMFILE)

Using *FROMFILE will not give you the duplicate ones.

>From the help:
<snip>
*FROMFILE
    The file name will be the same name as source image.  If the
    source image is from optical media, the name given to the file
    will be the volume ID.  If the source image is from another
    directory, the file will be given the same name as that in the
    source directory.

RE: ADDIMGCLGE






You shouldn't need to, the CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DIR('/fixes')
associates the directory with the image catalog and the LODIMGCLG
IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DEV(OPTVRT01) loads whatever image is in that
directory.


I have not done this with downloaded fixes, but I did a v4r5 to v5r2
upgrade
and preloaded the image catalog for PTF's by creating it on a v5r2 system
and restoring the directory to the v4r5 system.  After the upgrade I just
did the CRT and the LOD.  I did the VFY and the images were even in the
correct order.

Then what associates that particular .bin with the virtual optical drive?

You should be able to skip the ADDIMGCLGE step if the image already exists
in the directory.

I've been using ftp to download ptf's.  The steps basically are:
Find out what ptf's you want.
Use iPTF to order them.
Read your email for the ftp is ready email.
Use ftp from your iSeries to get them into the IFS.
CRTDEVOPT DEVD(OPTVRT01) RSRCNAME(*VRT) ONLINE(*YES) TEXT('Virtual optical


drive for image catalog')
VRYCFG CFGOBJ(OPTVRT01) CFGTYPE(*DEV) STATUS(*ON)
CRTIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DIR('/fixes') TEXT('PTF image catalog')
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE('/fixes/TheFtpFileNameHere')
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) DEV(OPTVRT01)
VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES)
GO PTF
8. Install program temporary fix package


The problem I have is with the
ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(PTFCATALOG) FROMFILE('/fixes/TheFtpFileNameHere')
For example, if I ftp down this file, iptf0021_1.bin, with a size of
500611072, then run the ADDIMGCLGE, I'll now have two files; the original
and a iptf0021_1.bin01, both of the same size.

Is there some option on ADDIMGCLGE that says not to copy the data over,
but just point to it?
