SOLVE

Is there a way within one of the APIs to query the file schedule extended status? For instance, if a file transfer schedule is setup to receive 10 files over a 4 hour period, how can I programmatically query the File Transfer Resource Monitor and get the current COMP: count. Is there a better way to do this?    

Hi David,

If you want to read the Extended Display for a FT Schedule programmatically (we're assuming that means from NCL),

 here is the easiest way to do so:

&CALL PROC=$RMSTMS SHARE=($RMSTEXTDISP) +       

      PARMS=(SERVICE=SET,+                      

             SYSNAME=&1,+                       

             VERSION=&2,+                       

             CLASS=24,+                         

             NAME=&3)                           

&IF &RETCODE NE 0 &THEN +                       

   &WRITE DATA=RET=&RETCODE SYSMSG=&SYSMSG      

&ELSE +                                         

   &WRITE DATA=RET=EXT.DISPLAY=&$RMSTEXTDISP    

When we run that providing SYSNAME, VERSION and NAME as &1 &2 and &3 we get back a line:

EXT.DISPLAY=PREP 22.48 REQ:0001 COMP:0000 FAIL:0000

Where PREP 22.48 REQ:0001 COMP:0000 FAIL:0000 is the extended display and COMP:0000 is word 4 (this is what you are looking for).

If you want to do any parsing or further processing, you will need to add the code for that yourself; we are just providing a way of accessing the information.

I hope this is helpful.
