I apolgize if I offended anyone and I am grateful to the suggestions.
I am (obviously) not familiar at all on what Oracle can assist with and
unfortunately I do not have a strong DBA to ask. Anyway enough
excuses. I have started to research all your suggestions. The service
was the initial method of choice because it could handle not only the
file creation but also disruption of the network and save these files
locally till the next firing. Yes unfortunately network disruption is
a very common happening here and we needed to program for it to
guarentee delivery. The file creation was mandatory by the vendors.
Their systems are on the WAN, but will not allow us to place anything
on their hardware and only one vendor had an import service that is
file driven. (so that is why no email) and FTP is locked down so tight
that we cannot even ftp within the same LAN. I understand that the
environment that I am creating in is not the norm, but it is all that
is available to me.
Again THANKS for the direction and the help...LuAnn
