CRTIMGCLG Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Create Image Catalog (CRTIMGCLG) command is used to create an image catalog object (*IMGCLG) in library QUSRSYS and associate the image catalog with a target directory.

An image catalog contains information about images that have been added to the image catalog using the Add Image Catalog Entry (ADDIMGCLGE) command. The image catalog contains the following information:

Directory name

The directory where the image files reside

Image file name

The name of the image file

Index number

The order of this image within the image catalog

Status

The status of the image within the virtual optical device

Text

A short description of the image

 

Restrictions

1. You must have *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities to use this command.
2. A directory can only be associated with a single image catalog.

 

Required Parameters

IMGCLG

Specifies the name of the image catalog to be created.

image-catalog-name: Specify the name of the image catalog to be created.

DIR

Specifies the name of the directory to be associated with this image catalog.

'directory-name': Specify the name of the directory to be associated with this image catalog.

 

Optional Parameters

CRTDIR

*EXCLUDE: The user cannot access the image catalog.

*LIBCRTAUT: The authority for the object is the same as the create authority for QSYS. The create authority for QSYS can be displayed by using the Display Library Description (DSPLIBD) command. If the create authority is changed with the Change Library (CHGLIB) command, the new authority does not affect existing objects.

*USE: The user can perform basic operations on the image catalog, such as displaying. The user cannot change the image catalog. *USE authority provides object operational authority, read authority, and execute authority.

*CHANGE: The user can perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object existence authority and object management authority. The user can change and perform basic functions on the object. Change authority provides object operational authority and all data authority. If the object is an authorization list, the user cannot add, change, or remove user ids.

*ALL: The user can perform all operations except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management authority. The user can control the object's existence, specify the security for the object, change the object, and perform basic functions on the object.
