Hi Chuck

The issue as originally formed was that server jobs are basically batch jobs, but web server jobs behave like interactive ones. One of the ERP vendors, as I recall, even talks about making adjustments that will accommodate this and maybe help performance some. I don't think those suggestions require figuring OUT the status, you set up a subsystem description or prestart job entries or something like that.

Regards
Vern

The TYPE value for RTVJOBA returns '1' for INT jobs and '0' for

of the word 'interactive' as it applies to jobs on the i.
True - unless of course one thinks of a web app as interactive.
Which is a "meaningful" definition but admittedly not in the
conventional IBM meaning of "interactive".

I've yet to find an API that will tell me if I am running in a web
server job.

I expect most on this list probably already know what the difference
between job-type INT versus any job-type other than INT, would mean to
their RPG programs.

So... Suppose the answer is known, whether the program is "running
in a web server job?" What does knowing that information then allow the
program to do and\or what does knowing that information then preclude
the program from doing? Also I am curious what difference is there
between a "web server job" and any other type of job that might be
servicing requests from elsewhere [other than an interactive display
device]?


The remainder of this post is included merely FWiW, mostly in case
someone stumbling on this thread in the archive wants to look back:

I recall the following old discussion which is tangential [about WSG]
but some references may have been made to HTTP jobs and CGI:

Although I thought there had been another more recent discussion, I
could not find any... though finally with additional and alternate means
of searching [by subject in NewsReader] I located:
