That's what IBM says. We have had internal philosophical discussions here about what constitutes "real time." There is a competitive solution that runs FTP as often as the customer wants (every five minutes?). Is that "real time"? Our sales folks say No. Well, we delay sending events by tens of microseconds or more. Is that "real time"? If only zero delay is "real time," then no solution is "real time." But yes, I have not used the above but my impression is that you get SMF records "right away" (whatever that means) as they are produced. BTW, by "file creation and deletion" do you mean traditional datasets, PDS members, or USS files? They are three different SMF records with radically different formats. If I make sneak just one more tiny plug in here, the commercial products have already solved these problems and more.

My needs are limited to jobstep completion, file creation, and file deletion. Needs to be near real time, within a few ms of the occurence. Email notification is ok, but Web service is preferred. One-way - z to Windows. I would like to steer clear of requiring prerequisite products, since it would happen on client installations, not mine. For the same reason, it is best not to require the latest zOS release.
