Looking for ideas for a file processing problem.
The client can receive one or more data files on their server each
day. The mainframe needs to run an FTP followed by a file-edit for
each. How might this best be accomplished?
Not 100% sure what the process is.
Neither am I; I'm not on the site, and my contact is a bit vague.
What is the "server"? Is it the mainframe, or is it a distributed box?
I am guessing not the mainframe.
If the "server" is a distributed box, why does the mainframe need to run
a ftp.
Well that part isn't really important anyway. I need ideas on how to
handle this once mainframe processing begins.
That depends on how the mainframe gets the file and if it can process
all of the files in one shot, or if it needs to process each file
indivdually.
I'm thinking create as many GDG versions as necessary and input all of
them into the process. When you specify a GDG without the version
all version are read.
True, but then you need to find a way to delete all of the generations
you have already processed.
Could you give a bit more detail on the the process should be?
We use our mainframe as a ftp server and coded the ftp smf exit so that
it issues a WTO when ever a file has been succesfully received. We then
have automation in NetView that gets triggered from this WTO.
The automation renames the file with a date/time stamp on the end and
then builds JCL and submits a job to process the file in some instances
in other instances it "taps" our job scheduler on the shoulder
(Control-M) and tells it to submit a job that process the file.
