RE: IBM On-Demand

We use the spool file archive feature for several reports, along with ascent
capture for scanned documents.  Started two years ago.  It's been a rocky
road going through all the versions and re-naming.  We wrote some user exit
programs to handle our requirements.  You are welcome to what we have if you
like.

Anyone out there using IBM's On-Demand product ?

I've hit a few "wrinkles" in the product and wondered if anyone had used
this beastie extensively. I'm especially interested (at the moment) in the
spool file archival capabilities  - I have it working but it appears
inconsistent at best.

Spool files fail to index on one pass, then index on a second pass. Other
spool files fail to index at all for no apparent reason - they have the
same report definition and use the same layout as other spool files that
index successfully.

The indexing/storage job, initiated by the STRMONRDAR command, seems to be
rather flaky and constantly stops indexing files claiming it has too many
spool files open.

Any thoughts or suggestions on-line or off are welcome.

Regards
Evan Harris
