Re: Getting Data from iSeries to PC

What do you want the reports to look like when they get to the PC? I 
always tell customers that the simplest thing to do is to get one of the 
many tools that are out there. If you don't want to go that route, use 
iSeries Access (Client Access Express). The ability to transfer spool 
files to the PC is built in. You don't have to fool around with CPYSPLF.

etc., etc.

One thing I like about the batch report server from RJS is the ability to 
define reports to the monitor in several different ways, and based on the 
rules, have the report placed into different areas of the IFS. If the user 
has a drive mapped into the IFS, his reports will be there in that 
directory. The email report server works the same way, except that the 
reports will be emailed to the user. The Domino report server will put 
them into a database within Domino.

Hello,

I have been given the task of getting the data from spool files on the
iSeries to PC's.

I have used CPYSPLF to turn the spool file into a data file.  Then I have
been able to use Client Access File Transfer utility to bring it down to a
PC.  I have saved the .TTO file of the file transfer and can run that to
download the file.

I would like to automate the process so that it could run either when the
people on the PC side want to run it or when the someone on the iSeries 
side
decides it is time to download.  That is I am not sure which side will
initiate the download of the file to the PC.

Any ideas on how I can accomplish these tasks?

Thanks in advance,
Bob
