Re: Software Product APIs: Missing API?

["Mark S. Waterbury" <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, there:

Actually, as of V5R1 or V5R2 (I cannot recall which), Operations Navigator
or
iSeries Navigator now includes a GUI way to "package" licensed program
products,
as part of how OpsNav allows you to manage your own software across multiple
OS/400 systems... and this uses these underlying APIs, and it comes at no
extra
charge, if you have a license for Operations Navigator, which I think comes
with
OS/400, or at least is a part of ClientAccess or iSeries Access.

Hope that helps?

Regards,

Mark S. Waterbury

In order to use OS/400's built-in capabilities for managing licensed
software you can either buy IBM's SystemView System Manager (SM1) product or
you can program the corresponding APIs.

There appears to be an API corresponding to each System Manager command.
For instance, to substitute for the Create Product Definition command,
CRTPRDDFN, you can use the built in QSZCRTPD API.

However, it looks like one API is missing.  The Change Product Object
Description command, CHGPRDOBJD, doesn't seem to have a corresponding API.

Does anyone know whether there is an API to match that command, or
alternatively how one could accomplish the same functionality as the
CHGPRDOBJD command without purchasing the whole System Manager Product?
