[Download-List] Truncating Download File

[Karg, Mary E]

Good Morning, 

 

Many thanks to everyone who took the time to help me with my download
predicament.  I'm with all of you researching and tweaking the Solaris
side of the equation.  If a Solaris command or option would detect an
open file then I could set a sleep interval before attempting the
transfer.  While this is outside the scope of this service, I'd
appreciate a point in the right direction if there is such a thing.
Otherwise it may involve special scripts for paragraphs with a longer
runtime.  Thanks again for all the support and solutions-it is most
appreciated :-)

Subject: [Download-List] File Completion

 

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.
