Title: RE: [iMS] Problem spooling to \ims\out

The cfx tag uses the OS to modify the control files (the OS has procedures for modifying ini files).  The POST Server keeps track of how many control files refer to a mail file but you would need to unlock the control files in turn so that none are missed.   HTH,   Howie ----- Original Message ----- From: David Brooks To: inFusion Support List Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 11:37 AM Subject: RE: [iMS] Problem spooling to \ims\out Thanks Kym for your response. We found out what the problem was with the filename format problem, ie, "20chars_20chars.mail".  Our development machine was not running the latest POST version (2.1.6).  Once we upgraded it, all of our control files using the above naming format went through great. A quick question about the LOCK / UNLOCK feature of the control file.  I've read in the manual about this issue, and you stated it below. Now, if we have a mailing of thousands of control files, and we lock them, then unlock them (once the batch is done creating), that is alot of disk reads/writes. Do you know of a cfx tag, or some low level code that will modify the 'LOCK' status of these control files quickly?  I'm assuming the cfx_imsmail tag does this when it creates the control files. Hehe, and this brings up another question.  Say we have thousands of control files for a particular mailing.  All the control files are locked.  Now, we start to unlock the control files (all the files are located in the Spool directory).  How does iMS know that there are say 5,000 control files for this mailing so that it wont delete the .mbx file after the first control file is unlocked?  Does iMS store the number of control files within its memory? Thanks for your help!
