Re: Is there a user exit or something similar that I can use to monitor when a FTP command is complete?

Could you add a trigger program to the FTP log file that checks each record
written for 4xx and 5xx return codes? If found, send a message/do some
error recovery/restart the process/whatever it is you need to do.

Thanks,

Hi Darryl, I guess "scripts" means using IBM i Ftp client redirecting
input and output to src files.

If that is the case the answer to your question is no, the only Exit Point
available to IBM i Ftp client (and server too) is a requests validation
exit point. The request validation exit points can be used to restrict
operations which can be performed by FTP users.

More info at:

So I guess Alan's answer is the right suggestion. Since you probably have
to change a lot of programs don't waste your time tweaking the scripts but
change them into something usable via Scott Klemets Ftpapi service program.
(thanks Scott!)

Have you looked at Scott Kelments FTP Api? It executes the FTP step by

and is designed so that you can determine if the step worked correctly.
If
you go to www.think400.dk/downloads.htm and look for project FTPOBJ
between systems there is an example of using the API.

I need a immediate response to read the log file. On many of the FTP

break
in and scan the log file.

It seems this is not do-able?

We have many FTP processes and we need to know when the FTP command
has
completed so that we can read the FTP log and look for failures.

To save modifying hundreds of programs, if there were something
like
an
exit point that can tell me the transmission is complete, I could
then
call
a program to read the log and advise if there is a failure.
