Re: Remote Data Queues Over TCP (was Re: Most efficient AS400 physical file building ?)

I am aware of two ways to get *dtaq support via TCP/IP in a more or less 
IBM-supported fashion.

First, SNA over TCP/IP. That's the obvious answer.

But second, one of the host servers is a *dtaq server. Although designed to 
speak with Client Access, it can be talked with via Java from a client app on a 
PC. The biggest trick seems to me to be getting the connection handle out of 
the signon server. (Example of a smaller trick is apparently that these host 
servers want to talk ASCII.)

However, given that the OS/400 JVM is certified for pure Java and the Java 
toolkit used for client apps is supposed to be available for platforms that 
support pure Java...?

In any case, if you can get a connection handle, the rest should be a SMOP, 
Java or no Java. No?
