Re: Image catalog - always ready

[Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

Maybe because I could share the image catalog between virtual devices, I
have the following in my save job;

ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG(BACKUP) FROMFILE(*new) +
             TOFILE('SaveName.bin') +
             IMGCLGIDX(1) IMGSIZ(999) TEXT(*GEN) +
             ALCSTG(*IMGSIZ) VOLNAM(SaveYYMM) +
             NEWOWNID(OwnerName)

LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(BACKUP) DEV(TAPVRT01) WRTPTC(*NONE)

SAV        DEV('/qsys.lib/tapvrt01.devd') +
             OBJ(('/MyFolder/SubDirectory/2013/10')) +
             OUTPUT(*print) LABEL(WhatIWantHere)

LODIMGCLG  IMGCLG(BACKUP) OPTION(*UNLOAD) DEV(TAPVRT01) +
             WRTPTC(*NONE)

RMVIMGCLGE IMGCLG(Backup) IMGCLGIDX(1)

This way I know that the virtual device is only allocated to the image
catalog when I'm ready to do a save.

Jim
