RE: Automating SNDNETF and RCVNETF -- MIDRANGE-L

You can use a job stream to do the RCVNETF & RSTOBJ on the remote system.

Right after you do the SNDNETF, do a SBMNETJOB to send a job stream to the remote system.

A Job Stream is a source member with a type of CL.

Example:

//BCHJOB JOB(RSTOBJ) JOBD(xxx) JOBQ(*LIBL/QPGMR) MSGQ(*USRPRF)
CHGOBJOWN OBJ(library/PgmName) OBJTYPE(*PGM) NEWOWN(QPGMR)

SNDNETMSG MSG('Owner Changed!!!!') TOUSRID((Userid SystemName))

You can run any OS/400 command in a job stream, but you cannot use MONMSG, but to get by that you can

just call a CL program to do what you want to do.

And as the last statement you can send a message to yourself or a distribution list, but this is a simple

example.

I use them all the time and find them very useful.

Hope this helps!!

p.s. You can also to a SBMDBJOB on the local system to test your Job Stream CL.

Subject: Automating SNDNETF and RCVNETF

I am merging serveral pieces and parts from serveral files into 6 (basically) flat files. These 6 are used on another box by a system that merges data and the web pages. The method that has been recommended or employeed is: save to save file; sndnetf; on the other box... rcvnetf and restore the save file. This works.

I must automated it in one or two CLs and maybe run serveral times a day. I can: clear the save file; save the data to the file; issue the sndnetf. The question is the best way to kick off the CL on the other box. I do not believe I can use a trigger, because the file is not officially rcvd. I could monitor the msgq ( I have not done much, if any, of this). Can I issue a rmtcmd from this box to that box? Issue a start pass through, with a defualt id and auto call to the CL then sigh off?

What is the easiest to write, maintain, and run? I am open to listen and learn from the masters on this list. THANK YOU!
