Re: Automated Job Processing

Paula, I live in this space. My users map a drive to the IFS and copy a file in for processing. The main monitor uses the IFS APIs to check the folder (actually it checks multiple folders) every 10 seconds and the job uses negligible (as in <.1%) CPU. I just went and checked and the monitor has been running for the last 36 hours has consumed 39 SECONDS of CPU time.

So no, it's not system intensive. :)


We are trying to automate a job on the 400. I've done it in Windows, but
can't figure out how on the 400.


General idea is that anytime a file appears in a folder it triggers the
designated program to run. Only similar idea is to set a program to run
every few minutes to check the folder, but that is very system intensive for
files that may only be processed once a day. I'm also concerned about
making sure the file has been completely transferred as they are coming
through FTP. Don't want to start processing half a file.


Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.
