Re: Job control on SBMJOB using CAE Activex

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Numerous ways.
1)  Send email from your iSeries to that user.  Determining what user to 
send the email to can be a challenge - but if it were easy we wouldn't be 
here.
2)  Send a completion message and monitor that completion message queue 
and send an email to whomever should get email from that message queue. We 
have people who don't ever do DSPMSG anymore - all messages are rerouted 
via email.
3)  A separate program on the PC could monitor the iSeries message queue 
and pop new messages out in a window.
4)  Put the cmd in a batch file and at the end of the batch file have it 
pop up a window.  You might even be able to do some crude if the command 
executed logic.  My PC batch file programming skills are a little rusty 
but I think there was something like %error or some such animal that even 
the old PC Support updated.
5)  Write the whole durn thing to use a stored procedure and get a result 
set that would even help to indicate success or failure.

When using the CAE command object in the form: cmd.Run
to submit a job, how can you tell the user the job is completed?
The ways I have thought of off the top are:
1)Keep monitoring the message queue for a completion message.
2)Set a flag in a file
Has anyone on the list had to tackle this? How did you do this?

I am open to any suggestions, will post a solution.
