RE: Automating SNDNETF and RCVNETF

["Billy Rowe" <billyrowe@xxxxxxx>]

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!
