SORT and SORTPROG
1. Stop the Spooler.
2. Rebuild the control file by starting the Spooler with the REBUILD option.
3. Stop the Spooler once more.
4. Audit the new control file.
5. If the REBUILD is performed on the same system (if not required because of a
takeover situation), move the control file to the backup system.
6. WARM START the Spooler.
SORT and SORTPROG
Do not prepare any FastSort components. The FastSort utilities use bulk file transfers
to access the input, scratch, and output files, which improves performance. However,
such transfers cannot be audited.
FTP
AutoTMF supports FTP file transfers to audited files. To enable this feature, do the
following:
1. In ESCORT CI, prepare the FTPSERV object file.
2. In FUP, license FTPSERV.
3. In ESCORT CI, configure the target files for the transfer to be created as audited
files:
The transferred files can then be replicated using RDF or another replication method
that uses the audit trail.
File Transfer Processing

A process Exclusive OPEN of an audited, unstructured file is converted to a
Shared OPEN and the file is locked with a LOCKFILE operation under an
automatic transaction.

On an audited, unstructured file, OPEN for "unstructured access" and SETMODE
141,1 operations are suppressed. The disk process supports large transfers to
unaudited, unstructured files without requiring the OPEN option or the SETMODE.
Both operations interfere with writing to an audited file.

The LOCKFILE operation is performed under one automatic transaction. Writes to
the file do not acquire record locks when the entire file is locked. All writes to the
file are performed under a single transaction, which is committed when the file is
closed. If the file is not closed before the TMF AutoAbort time limit, the program
fails.
