It seems as if I should try the scripts since the FTP protocol deletes all files in the directory. There are many other files in the directory where Cloverleaf would pick the file up from. It seems as though the file would need to have its own directory on the sending system in order for me to use the FTP protocol. The directory where the file would be put would also need to only contain this file, right? There are other files in that directory also. If I could use the FTP protocol and still be able to make a backup copy of the files that are received, then I would like to do that.
If not………..
I did successfully pick up the file and put the file on the receiving system. The inbound thread just continues to show a file pending after the file has been placed on the receiving system. I think the timing of the transactions may be the cause of this. I changed the read interval, max messages and scan interval (original settings: 90,100,120) on the inbound thread to (5,1, 30). I noticed that when I tested after this change that the pending message count grew quickly. With the original setting the pending message count was 1. When I changed the settings, the pending message count went to 4 in no time. It seems as if the intervals have something to do with this. I am just not clear on what each is doing. This may be part of the solution along with the timing of the execution of the inbound script and outbound script.
