Re: Batch job

["Simon Coulter" <shc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Chan Le,

You will get better performance if you submit the Java job due to it not having 
to create a communications 
*DTAQ nor manage the DSM environment.

You may need to use the CPYENVAR(*YES) keyword on the SBMJOB command e.g. 
        SBMJOB CMD(RUNJVA MyJavaProgram) CPYENVVAR(*YES)

Java on the AS/400 provides JDBC to access the DB2 database but you can also 
use the AS/400 toolkit Java 
classes to give record level access via DDM.  They will run quite happily on 
the AS/400 -- just include them 
in the CLASSPATH (jt400.zip).  Be aware that these classes still use the DDM 
server and therefore run via TCP 
even though the classes are running on the AS/400.  Native DDM access is coming.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
