Perhaps you could review the BATCH PIPES process in z/OS or if you have MQ, perhaps that could support what you need. Other options could be IMS solution MQ solution CICS solution DB2 Solution We currently have a need to send out orders when a DB2 table is updated. To do this we use our CA-ESP Scheduling software to monitor the DB2 table, when there is a row change, it triggers the process to action the order. If there were some more details on your problem, we might be able to come up with more specific answers?
