Re: Image Catalogue Question

Here's what I just did in V5R4 on a 570 - on an LPAR we get to use as 
a virtual loaner through being a partner - very cool program for partners!

I ordered separately the latest cume, as well as group PTFs for HTTP, 
Java, TCP/IP, and Print - maybe another. I downloaded the images 
directly to the IFS on that machine. Then added entries for all of 
them. Then, in the WRKIMGCLGE screen, took F7 to validate - and chose 
*PTF type and sort(*YES) - it put the cume first, the rest in some 
order that one hopes takes into account the dependencies. Fired it 
off without IPL - did my own PWRDWNSYS when done - *FULL one - I like 
to do a full IPL after cumes. Probably a belt & suspenders kind of thing.

Anyway, GO LICPGM option 50 reported a completely clean apply - woohoo!

YMMV - but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
