Re: need multiple jobs to use same JVM

["Glen Marchesani" <glenlist@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Alex,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is simply no way to do what
you are asking.  There are alot of reasons why you can't.  One thing is
system pointers.  An as400 system pointer is scoped to the job and thus
can't be used across multiple jobs.  We had the same problem with wanting to
have multiple jobs all use the same socket.  In that instance we ended up
having a server jjob with the socket and hte rpg apps all talked to teh
server job with data ueues.

Your best bet is David Gibbs recommedation (tcp server job) which will
perform the best or data queues which are easier to write and automatically
loadbalance but perform anywhere from the same as TCP to adequate depending
on what you want to do.

regard,s
Glen
