The Question is:
It is possible to run an automatic ftp when creating a new file on a VMS System ?
Thanks for your answer.
The Answer is :
Yes, this can be implemented using security audits and a process receiving
these audits via an auditing mailbox, but that is likely more work to
create and set this up and then process these notifications than the
effort would be worth -- OpenVMS does not presently provide a generic
notification ACL, which would be the most obvious implementation for
an OpenVMS-based solution here.
The easiest approach for this likely involves periodically polling the
directory (usually with the filename that is the target for the directory
scan established via a RENAME operation) or the addition of notification
from the creating application to the transfer tool.
The use of FTP is not relevent, this could involve be most any operation
on the newly-detected/newly-created file.
