Hi Team, How can files created on Micro Focus (from Micro Focus file transfers or from other internal and external tasks/jobs) be tracked? say file creation or file modified? Is there a API or command line we can use?

Hi Juscelino,
To check, in what context is this, e.g. Enterprise Server, where JCL is creating these files, are they datasets in the catalog or just standalone files?
Are you looking for a audit trial type feature? Can you share more information to help understand the scenario/requirement.

Hi Kim, I am looking to use the dataset created by microfocus as a semaphore file on a third part integration, which is why I want to know what microfocus exposes for us to verify dataset creation / modify etc... more in the context of mainframe modernization..

For example, how can I monitor a dataset created by a JCL on a particular path? on microfocus console.log? via file share?

Are you asking if there is an API for the Enterprise Server spool or catalog? If you are using the ESCWA UI have you considered checking that API (http://localhost:10086/docs/) to see what is available there?
