Sending a file to two places with one interface thread

[Ariba Jones]

Is it possible for me to get a file (using a ksh script) from a system and send that file to two different places at one time?  

I have a request to setup an interface to retrieve a file and then take that file and put it in a folder on our shared drive and also send the file to a receiving system.  I had already setup this interface to use a ksh script to pick up the file and put it in the shared folder.

I am not sure if I can do the second option (send it to the receiving system via tcp/ip connection) at the same time without creating a separate set of threads (in/out).

Has anyone ever done something like this? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Ariba

Ariba,

This would be no different than receiving transactions on a single inbound thread and routing them to multiple outbounds.  Your inbound thread would be configured as a fileset-ftp (to pick-up the file), and then the 2 outbounds would be configured to the respective receiving systems requirements (i.e. ftp, or other).  It’s simply a matter of which protocol to use….

Hope this helps.
