Sorry for the critical noun omission. "Maintaining a Client Access connection overnight can sometimes be problematic" -----Original Message----- From: Jim Damato [mailto:jdamato@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 3:47 PM To: 'Midrange Systems Technical Discussion' Subject: RE: Getting Data from iSeries to PC Client Access File Transfer must be initiated from the client. You should be able to set up a remote command in Client Access as well. The remote command could initiate your CPYSPLF. You could batch this on the PC with the file transfer command using WinBatch or something like it. You could set up the batch on the Windows scheduler if you have it running. Maintaining a Client Access overnight can be problematic, but it's all do-able. If you configure a shared IFS directory in Netserver you can: CPYSPLF to a data file. CPYTOSTMF or CPYTOIMPF from the data file to a text file in the IFS directory, specifying *PCASCII for the code page. The people on the PC side can access the IFS directory directly from their PC's on the network. The two AS/400 CPY statements can be put in a CL and scheduled. The users may access the text file from the share about as easily as if it were on their C: drives. -Jim James P.

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?
