Re: Differences between calling Java from Qshell and RPG?

Hi,

Your reason to use Java for connecting to MQ was apparently inspired by not 
having MQ on the source system itself (it's a shame there's no native client).  
While I had the same issue in the past, I solved this by using a remote 
dataqueue so that the "copy" job could run on the system where MQ was 
available. (and no Java was needed)

The problem is that both yours and my solution destroy the advantage of using 
MQ since a network failure will finally cause the dataqueue to overflow and 
probably crash the initial program or at least loose messages.

Kind regards,
Paul

Doh! I'd been doing all my testing from an interactive session.

I followed Simon's suggestion of submitting the job with ALWMLTTHD(*YES)and
it worked!
Thanks Simon.

Also, a big thank you to all who responded with special mention to Barbara
for her continued assistance.

This means that I can launch a continuous RPG server job that:
1. Initialises MQ & JDBC connection (just once)
2. Receives requests from an iSeries DTAQ and hands off these requests to
another system via JNI calls to Java MQ methods.
3. Closes down on receipt of a 'special' DTAQ message. 

Thanks,

Keith
