Issue/Introduction

This CA XCOM Data Transport Exit allows users to specify customized processing, by means of a batch script, before or after sending or receiving a file transfer request, allowing users to reference particular transfer parameters and by putting commands at the end of the script.

Environment

CA XCOM Data Transport for Linux PC
CA XCOM Data Transport for AIX
CA XCOM Data Transport for HP
CA XCOM Data Transport for Solaris
CA XCOM Data Transport for Unix

Resolution

XCOMPP is used to handle processing after you have received a file. For example, It can be used for
controlling print-spooling
managing notification facilities
additional processing of incoming files after a successful incoming file transfer is completed.

It is only invoked for incoming files. It does not work for jobs or reports.

This optional exit is invoked automatically by specifying the XPPCMD parameter in XCOM.GLB

The name of the command file used for user-defined post-processing for after receiving a file transfer. Specify this parameter in XCOM.GLB to invoke the pre-allocation exit xcompp. A sample command file is provided.

For example, you can use the xcompp exit to:
* controlling print-spooling
* managing notification facilities
* call additional OS and 3rd party utilities for further processing after a successful incoming file transfer is completed.

Customization is useful. For example, rename files, write an entry to the Windows event log , compress a file or start a transfer. The sample XCOMPP script is installed during the installation of CA XCOM Data Transport can be found in your site’s installation directory. In this sample script:

Script for Windows

Note: For Windows platforms, some scripts create new processes that must continue running after the script is returned to the transfer partner. 
To prevent the new process from being terminated, you must include the user in the CA XCOM Batch Interactive group (see below).

• The XCOMPP_IDENT file transfers are subject to additional processing.
• Rename the received file
• Compress the newly named file
• Transfer the file to XCOMPP_IDENT system
• Write informational message to the Windows event log
