[Download-List] File Completion

[Keith Johnson]

I am not sure this will help and it is a different tack on what you are
asking, however have you thought of using the UNIX sleep command to make
the process wait?

 

For example in your script

 

MY.DOWLOAD.JOB

!sleep 30   # if still in UNIDATA for example or

sleep 30    # if not..

Sftp ,,,

Hi,

 

We have run into a unique problem with ftps from datatel to remote
machines.  We run solaris ftp scripts in a chron job to move files
created by download 7.2 from our datatel sever to our windows server.  A
glitch we have experienced is if the ftp chron job runs while the file
is still in the process of creation (download is still writing records),
the ftp process transfers a partial file.  Is there any option or
mechanism in Download 7.2 that would hold records in a buffer and write
them out all at once so that there isn't a delay time of minutes between
initializing the file and completion of the file?  Thank you in advance
for your attention.
