Hi,

Our situation is Mainframe will ftp the DDS files generated by CDC to the DSEE in AIX.

Our challenge is we have to ensure the DDS files from mainframe transfer to AIX are not coroupted and fully ftped before DSEE proceed. How can I go about it? How do I tell DSEE not to proceed if FTP files are not good?

Are there any Mainframe JCL expert here can guide me how to create a file containing the filename and size? Or Are there any other methods?

Send two files - the DDS file and another "flag" file sent after it. The flag file can be empty, or contain a small amount of information. If DataStage waits for the "flag" file to appear, then the DDS file must have appeared, since its transfer was not initiated until the DDS file's transfer had been completed.

How about the tools "Connect:Direct". We are using it to transfer files from AIX to Mainframe, then trigger Mainframe JCL and from Mainframe to AIX, then trigger shell script to kick off the DSEE job.

Try NDM from Mainframe to Unix Box. I guess it may help you.
