This is named "Tailored Install".
Once you've selected the path, select the components to be part of your image
To load and apply the latest Service Pack for iSeries Access proceed as follows:
Click here and select Service Packs to load the latest Service Pack.
Select the appropriate Service Pack (here I've selected SI15176 for 5722-XE1 V5R3M0)
Click on Tailored directory
Then on PTFFORM.EXE
Save on disk: (no need to save it in the same directory as your image)
PTFFORM only puts in fixes for code that is contained in image
Click on the „Open" button
Select Browse to specify the destination folder where your Tailored Image has been saved
Press Next to start the update
The components that are contained in the target install image will be automatically updated to the new service level from the files in the temporary directory, and then the temporary directory will be removed.
After completion, you can delete the downloaded PTFFORM.exe file, as it is no longer needed.
Now you have combined this service pack level with the iSeries Access for Windows installation image, so that users can install iSeries Access for Windows plus this service pack in one integrated step. Note that this procedure also works if the installation image has already been combined with a prior service pack level. This procedure will replace the prior service level in the combined image with this new level.
Alternatively, if you have a full copy of the original iSeries Access for Windows install image in a directory, you can combine PTFFORM.EXE with this full image, using the same procedure detailed above. Then you can run
Create Tailored Installation Image (cwbinimg.bat) from this full image directory, to create tailored image directories that will automatically have the service pack merged in.
