Post queuing jobs Reply with quote

I am evaluating this product and need to know if we can get it to run a file that appears in a directory. We pass batch jobs from a VAX VMS system to a directory on an NT box and need to have the job executed on the NT box.

Thanks,
Rod Grossman

Make a job that has a file-watch schedule (when file exists). Use file masks to specify which files to watch (for all files use *.* mask). As soon as one or more matching files found, 24x7 will run the job.

Make this job as a job having "JAL script" type. In the job script code a loop to find all matching files and run them one by one

Here is one of the possible algorithms

FileFindFirst ....
LoopWhile found...

RunAndWait found_file ...

FileDelete found_file (or FileRename or FileMove) ...

FileFindNext ....
END_LOOP:

Another way is to use the Dir statement and Loop with GetToken

Please see available job examples and templates for more ideas.
