RE: Initiate PC job from AS400 not using client access

Yes you can do this.  You need to have the PC communicating with the AS400
some how though.  Have you performed any TCP/IP socket programming?  You can
have a program running on the PC waiting for a connection from another
computer, the AS400 in your case.  Do you have a program on the PC that
looks for a file in a network drive?  If so you can have Netserver running
on the AS400 and map a drive to the PC, assuming it is running WINDOZE.  The
AS400 would then put the file into the shared Netserver drive.

Subject: Initiate Pc job from AS400 not using client access


I have a question.  Without using client access, is there a way to
automatically initiate a PC job from the 400?  We used to use the presence
of a file in a folder
to kick off a PC job but that not longer works or seems to be an option
(unless
there is just something "broken" with it).  But, I am on the AS400 side
without a
lot of PC experience.
