Control-O actions can be triggered by the transfer of files by FTP products.
In order to enable Control-O rules to be triggered by such file transfers, do the following:
Use one of the following methods to insert the expression MSGLEVEL=(1,1) in the STC of the FTP product:
Customize the JESxPARM member in the SYS1.PARMLIB library.
Modify the job statement in the PROCLIB library member that contains the procedure JCL for the STC of the FTP product.
Start the Control-O monitor with at least one DSNEVENT rule that refers to the STC of the FTP product. You can use a dummy DSNEVENT rule that forces Control-O to monitor the STC of the FTP product.
Start the FTP product.
Modify existing rules, or order new rules (or do both). Rules that have been modified or ordered before a file reaches the FTP server are applied to all files subsequently transferred by the FTP product.
Control-O triggers rules when the requirements of an ON DSNEVENT statement are satisfied. If an FTP product fails to transmit a data set and issues a message relating to this failure, Control-O cannot react to that message. However, you can use Control-O rules to react to FTP product messages.
Note: Do not use the STEPRC subparameter in conjunction with the FTP* setting for ON DSNEVENT, because the same FTP procedure can serve many requests before being terminated.
