Kicking off an IPA from a Delivered COBOL

I want to kick off an IPA from a delivered COBOL program.  I tried a file watcher, but it kicked off the process before the file finished writing.  I thought I could use an exit and have it kick off a service.  I remember seeing information about that process, but I have not found it.  Does anyone know the KBA or could outline what needs to be done?

    I think these might be helpful - here is the manual that lists all the delivered services, and the Process Flow Developer guide, which has info about COBOL triggers.

    I modified AP161 to output a dummy file that a File Channel looks for and then runs a flow to move the AP161ELECTPMT file to a folder that is available to the AP Staff for MHC Document Express to print the ACH remittance forms. I have done this to other delivered Cobol programs. I have also inserted code in Cobol programs that I created using 4GL to execute a Service that I could pass values to. That involves more work.
