Image catalog help

Fix Central allows you to download virtual images and load them directly into an image catalog on your IBM i system. The contents of the image catalog can be displayed using the WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG([image catalog]) command.

For more information, see Fix Central and FTP Download - Getting the CD Image File into a Virtual Media Device

Add image catalog entry

Fix Central adds each image to the image catalog.

If WRKIMGCLGE IMGCLG([image catalog]) does not show the expected entries, check the [user.home]/fixcentral/logs/fc_applet.0.log file for errors.

If Fix Central was not able to add the entry, use the ADDIMGCLGE IMGCLG([image catalog]) FROMFILE([image file path]) TOFILE([image file name]) command to add it manually.

Load image catalog

Fix Central loads the image catalog.

If a value of true is displayed, Fix Central successfully loaded the image catalog.

If a value of false is displayed, Fix Central was not able to load the image catalog. This could be caused by the image catalog not being associated with a virtual optical device or the virtual optical device not being varied on.

The log file written to [user.home]/fixcentral/logs/fc_applet.0.log may contain useful information about errors encountered while populating the image catalog.

If Fix Central was not able to load the image catalog, use the LODIMGCLG IMGCLG([image catalog]) DEV([virtual optical device]) OPTION(*LOAD) command to load it manually.

Verify image catalog

Fix Central verifies the image catalog was loaded successfully.

If a value of true is displayed, Fix Central successfully verified the image catalog.

If a value of false is displayed, Fix Central was not able to load the image catalog.

The log file written to [user.home]/fixcentral/logs/fc_applet.0.log may contain useful information about errors encountered while populating the image catalog.

If Fix Central was not able to verify the image catalog, use the VFYIMGCLG IMGCLG([image catalog]) TYPE(*PTF) SORT(*YES) command to load it manually.
