    Would this be an occasional thing, or would it be running a dozen times 
    or more a minute? Or something in between?
    
    If its just once a week or so, you could schedule the System i to look 
    in a certain place for a file.  If the file is there, delete the file 
    and run the procedure.  Then your web app need only put the file in some 
    mutually available place.

Or is there a better way?
