RE: Cume/Hiper/DB2/TR and other groups -- MIDRANGE-L

yeah, once you get past the download hassles with Fix Central, the image
catalogs have always worked great for us...

I remember in the past that i've always created separate image catalogs...
one for Cume/Hiper/DB2 that i'd load and apply first, and then one for the
remaining groups/individuals that i'd load/apply with a second IPL after
the first batch were applied...

At this point in the game, it sounds like there'd be no issue with just
putting them all into one image catalog and letting the system sort it out
as one option 8 load/apply, right?

Image catalogs work perfectly. The trouble is getting them. Fix Central
is anything but reliable. SNDPTFORD can do image catalogs, but it's had
issues that I've never experienced with save files.

Thanks

It's NOT that temp PTFs are not restored because they ARE. The issue is
that when doing a "D" mode IPL (Matters not if it's DVD, Image Catalog, or
tape) you are IPLing from the "A" copy of what's on that media. The "A"
copy is the perm applied PTFs only.

As a consequence if you have not Perm Applied any PTFs needed for the new
hardware it won't IPL.

With respect to save files being more reliable that image catalogs, that's
a first! I have never had issues with the image catalog while save files
have been problematic now and then for decades. But glad they work for you!
