Hi all. it seems like its been ages since I had my hands in a webfocus project. I tried doing a search buty maybe I am not formulating my search correct. anywho, heres my problem: We have a transaction file that will be retreived several times throughout the day thats gets run through the ISeries Robot scheduler. After it finishes its updates, I would like to have a Webfocus report sent to the users, so they can verify the transaction and complete the cycle. Problem is that depending on the number of transactions the RObot job may take varying times to run. This makes it difficult to use report caster. Question is, is there a way to have the Iseries launch a report caster job, or launch a fex( which is on an NT box)?This message has been edited.

Lloyd, Another possibility is to have the process that creates the transaction file also create an indicator file after it finishes the transaction file. The report caster job, scheduled to run every minute for instance, checks the presence of the indicator file. If it's not there the caster jobs terminates without doing anything. If it is, the job processes the transaction file, sends the mail(s) and deletes the indicator file. If you insist on kicking off the caster job after the transaction file finishes, consult the report caster api manual. I'm quite sure that this document contains the necessary information to do just what you need. GamP

Thanks Gamp, but unfortunately the API is Java based, which isn't available to me (or anyone on my team, no one here knows Java). I am gonna try to use your other suggestion, I'll let you know how it goes. Lloyd Prendergast Michael Kors (USA), Inc.
