Near real time backup of datasets moved by file transfert or other STCs

In mainframe production we have batchs that receive and send datasets all the day that need to have a backup done when received or just when sended in case of batch failure, human errrors or other problems that can occurs. Today iZBR allow to run automatic backup at regular interval but not in a few second after a dataset was created. 

Our request is to include in iZBR a function that will call an HSM backup when an SMF record for a close of a dataset is received and produced by some STCs like file transfert STC : FTP, Connect Direct, CTF, other to have a backup of these dataset only a few seconds  after they are created. 

The HSM backup command could be :   HSENDCMD WAIT BACKDS xxxxx-zzzz.wwww  CC(REQUIRED LE) RETAINDAYS(35)
