Has anyone used WebFocus to write to a ZOS mainframe dataset.

I would like WebFocus to update a trigger file on the mainframe to initiate mainframe schedular (CA7) to trigger a FTP job to sweep my report from the windows network to mainframe mobius repository.

Not used, but if you are doing the report through report caster consider a post process of ftping a file up to the mainframe.

Or consider the posibility of the output destination to be the repository. You'd need to get your systems people involved I'm sure.

We are working on a conversion similar to get our production output to a systemware webtop application. FTP is involved.

Hi Howard,

This should be the same regardless of platform.
You could create a HOLD file, or issue a DYNAM command to create or allocate a file and then
use
-WRITE
Been awhile since I have used it, but it should work and there are lots of examples on the techsupport site.

We've been doing this for years. However, we don't write the file directly to the mainfram, we ftp the file to the mainframe when the WebFOCUS job completes. When the mainframe scheduler detects the file, it starts the job that uploads the reports and places them in RDS/Document Direct queue. We just ftp a small, one record file. The 1st step in the job started on the mainframe, deletes the file.
