Re: Monitoring IFS directory for file creation

["Carsten Flensburg" <flensburg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello John,

To take the last question first - it is the file ID - Bruce Vining mentioned
a while ago the name of the API to turn that into something human readable:
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200409/msg00045.html

As for the CS journal entry: I don't get such an entry when a file is
created in the IFS on my V5R2 system - I get a B0 (Begin create) and B1
(Create summary). And the B1 is issued before the file is closed, that's why
I had to resort to the object lock method. Judged by the description of the
CS entry it pretty much sounds as if that would be a good one to monitor
for - but as I said, I haven't noticed it on my system. What is your
release?

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
