He's looking for an easy way for CICS to retrieve data FTP'd to a mainframe. Can you help Wally? If yes, please do so by posting your response here: >> CICS don't need no stinkin' bridges! Actually, some bridges are rather nice. Just don't do what Jim did and confuse "CICS 3270 Bridge" with the "CICS 3270 Web Bridge." The first is a lean, mean dancing machine. The latter requires an environmental and performance impact statement before implementation. Tip of the Week: Those of you who run a supported version of WebSphere Application Server (WAS) on AIX v 4.3.3 or later in conjunction with IBM's DB2 universal database may experience a problem loading WAS' Administration Server component if you exceed a maximum number of local concurrent DB2 connections from a single process. Some users who don't even connect to a local DB2 database report encountering this problem, as well. May's Tip of the Month contest is almost over.
