Re: Is there a way to automatic wait when there is one incoming file in process of receiving ?

Hi Murali

Need more information, please. What has to wait? At any rate, I'm not aware 
of any automatic way to know that a file is done. You could check for locks 
on it.  A process that is writing to a physical file will hold a lock on 
it, perhaps exclusive, perhaps share-no update.

How do you detect that the file has arrived? I would think of an exit 
program for FTP, perhaps, that could tell you it is coming. Otherwise, you 
can keep checking the library for a new file. Or something else. I think 
there've been discussions here on how to do this.

There is save while active on the various save commands. Check out the help 
on that parameter, then go to the backup & recovery manual to get more 
details. You'll need to know the implications.
