We execute many FTP transmissions from z/OS V1R7 outbound to our AIX boxes. From time to time we have FTP failures; < 1% of the total. However this 1% is in a VERY visible system and receives a lot of attention. A rerun a few minutes later is successful.
So, the question is, might we setup some kind of a PING process and then depending on the RC from the PING either enter a WAIT for 60 seconds or continue? What do you do?
