RE: Commitment control

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Let me guess what the application is:
Customer ftp's a file to you.  This is on your iSeries in your DMZ.
Your primary iSeries, outside of your DMZ, polls for the existance of this 
file.  And tries to read it.
You have no control over header records to another file, etc because the 
data is EDI format, and the header is written first, etc.

We have this scenario.

We are using an FTP exit point program.  However, those get triggered when 
the ftp starts, not when the ftp ends.  Therefore, if the ftp takes awhile 
you try polling the data before it is all there.  Our customer was 
amenable to the idea of sending a second file.  The exit point program 
would initiate the poll based on this second file.
