Issue/Introduction

I'm new with xcom for Windows .... using GUI functionality.   I'm able to send one file at the time, but we need to build an automatic schedule transfer from windows environment to AS400.

 

We have to send to our partner, files that are created on the fly throughout the day and each time a new file is created it must be send as quick as possible to the partner for processing.

 

The local filename is unique and not sequential without extension.  The remote filename must be the same as the local name.

 

The biggest problem is we can't use wilcard with the remote system (AS400) as it's not supported.

 

What are the best options to make it functional?

Environment

Release : 11.6

Component : CA XCOM Data Transport for Windows

Cause

XCOM for iSeries (AS/400) does not support wildcard transfers.

Resolution

1. Create a program/api/script on Windows that will monitor the directory and invoke a transfer to get initiated. 

2. Maybe a Windows scheduler application may provide you with the option of monitoring a directory and scheduling a transfer from XCOM.
