RE: Can "ProgramCall going in MSGW" be detected?

I think you would have to create a thread to monitor the job but it wouldn't be too difficult, and the thread could fire PropertyChangeEvents to monitor/listen for. Would this do what you need?

ProgramCall.getServerJob() returns the Job object which will execute the ProgramCall.run().

So if the program called by ProgramCall goes into message wait, the server job will be in message wait, right?

Put PropertyChangeSupport into the thread you are considering building. Put a shutdown() method in it. Instantiate the thread with the Job object returned by ProgramCall.getServerJob().

run() method of thread periodically checks the status of the Job passed to it when initiated. If status of job is MSGW it fires a PropertyChangeEvent.

After ProgramCall.run() returns call the shutdown method of the thread. If listener get MSGW event call the shutdown method of the thread.

Would that do it?

Subject: Can "ProgramCall going in MSGW" be detected?

Hi.

We have a situation where we would like to be able to detect reliably if
a ProgramCall ends up in Message Waiting (MSGW) in order to be able to
notify a developer (guess who :) )

Right now it just hangs and awaits the ProgramCall to return which is as
such ok, but I'd just like to know that it has happened.

I was thinking of creating a thread which periodically looks at the
ProgramCall job if it is in MSGW, but I'd rather have an event if at all
possible (easier to code, no threads etc), but I do not remember seeing
such a facility in the documentation.

What would be the appropriate way to do so?
