Re: Looking for cluster synchronizer -- DOMINO400

Rob,

        It sounds to me like something you can do yourself.  Write some code
to read the IFS directory containing the list NSF files, Build a OS/400
control file with where things need to be pushed to, and rather they have
been  previously and  then use the CL interface to the Console or the notes
API'S to push the appropriate replications.

        There is lot's of shareware floating around to read the IFS
directory, and you can use a Domino task or a scheduled AS/400 job to
control the whole thing...
