RE: Best way to get orders to i

Adam,

how does she transfer the file to the i? If via an FTP script, you could change that script to end with a call of your program.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Subject: Best way to get orders to i

HI We have a small internet sales that is outsourced. Currently,
someone gets the orders file to her PC and file transfers to the i. to
a PF. I have to run a program that would report on any items ordered
that do not have a weight amount in our Master file.

Since the time that this is run is not fixed, I cannot just run my
job at a fixed time.

I was interested in some approaches to this. One idea I have is to
run a progam that would look if the the PF has been updated at all this
day. Once it knows that it's been updated, I guess via checking the
changed object date?

Perhaps I could have the PC set off a job on the i, from her PC, but I
am trying to have the user do nothing additional if possible.

I was wondering what other people do/have done in this situatiion.

Getting the records via Scott Klement's program is possible but for
various reason I don't think they want to change the process just now,
