Hi Everyone,

Currently I have a file coming from a different vendor to my system
at a predefined time , for this current process incase if file didnot make
it on time , I need to hold the job . I am trying to automate this process,
Could you please let me know if the following approach works.

I would write a rexx which inturn would check if the file has come on time
if so the job would run, in case the file didnot make it , I would build the
same job which checks for the file and write to INTRDR , and would want
this job to run every half hour to check the same file.

Please let me know if this works

Thanks
Raj Kannan

Hi Rajkannan,

How you are getting the file from vendor ? If you are getting from NDM, you can define a DUMMY job and that job should be triggered by your Vendor job.
You can change your NDM parm as well.
It means, If the transmission is successful, the JOB will be triggered in your machine.
You can use this DUMMY job to trigger your actual job.

plz let me know if you have any questions

Rajkannan,

What kind of scheduling package does your shop have? CA-7 lets you schedule a job upon creation of a dataset. So whenever the vendor sends in a file, the JOB on your system is kicked off automatically.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Hi Kolusu,
This is Rajkannan Again....

the file/GDG cannot be checked for the current gen, because we would never know the time of creation. (The current gen could be from Yesterday)

For this reason, I thought of having a Rexx which would read the creation date, and programmitcally controll in a such way it would always pick the correct gen of that file which is intented to be used in the flow no matter how much delayed the file comes (worst case, say 5 days).....

Submit the same job again and again in a interval of some time through
INTDR, until you get the file.......

Rajkannan,

*sigh* Do you have a schedueling package? As I mentioned earlier you don't have to check the creation date. Ca-7 lets you trigger a Job upon creation of the Dataset.

Our shop uses CA-7 and the process goes this.

A gdg base already exists for NDM file.
