Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Hi,

We've a file which is being transferred using MQFTE to a differnt region. In the other region there is a job which executes every half an hour and see if this file exist, if it does the job executes else it is not. But some times the file istoo huge and it takes time to transfer while by that time the file gets catalogged and job start executing and abends. How can I avoid such a situation, Please help.

when you mean abends ?

What is the abend code you get ??

The solution could vary based on the abend code

Do not execute the job every half hour - execute it when the dataset is received. The scheduler can do this for you.

Nic brings up an interesting point - why do you execute the job every half an hour rather than making it a data-set triggered job?
