RE: Automating SNDNETF and RCVNETF

[Chris Bipes <rpg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you send a net file to a remote system, a message is sent to the receiver that a file was received.  I don not remember the CPF message id.  But the message data includes the name of the file received and who & where it was sent from.  A simple program monitoring this message queue, of the receiver, can call the CL program with the file name and who sent it.  It works great for regular sending of files.

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!
