Re: Notification of changes to file system in IFS (new files/changed file/etc)
It's possible to attach a journal to an IFS directory. Whenever something happens in that directory, a journal entry is received. So you could have a program that sits on the RCVJRNE command to receive the journal entries and operate on them.
There's also an open source tool called MONIFS that's available from www.Easy400.net. I haven't used it, but it might be worth looking into. I think it's part of the IFSTOOL package.

I'm in search of an API that will "inform" me of a change to a subtree

changed) in a subtree of the IFS. We're looking so allow files to be
saved in the IFS by the users but I need to know as soon as they save a
file so I can kick off a server-side process to deal with that file. Any
ideas. We're V5R2 at the moment.
