On a powerbuilder 12.5 classic application
I'm sending a file, to an ftp site
but... on that site they are immediately renaming the file.
I have database transactions, that are used to make up this file.
so... if the file was sent, I would update the transactions on the database to Sent.
But.. I believe I had an instance where the database transactions failed..... even though the file was sent
and the user, "failed" to see the error.
so, I ended up sending 2 file... which caused a lot of problems
the database is oracle
If there's some kind of database issue... will it fail, when I try to do the dw.update()?
or... will it error out on the
commit statement?
I'll need to change my process.... and change the database transactions (to sent) first
just not commit them, until the I'm sure that the file is sent
If it fails on the update... I'll need to do the update, before actually sending the file
Then... I should be able to rollback the transactions, if the file send fails
otherwise... I can commit
Does this make sense??
