Re: iSeries web "stuff"

Hi, Chuck.

Been doing this for years using CGIDEV2 our our eRPG SDK.

I actually asked about the credit card payment thing a few weeks ago and
once I dug into things I found many options, some that didn't even require
much programming at all on the IBM i, side.

Just a simple form to call their application, and a CGI program to retrieve
the success or not of the charge which is done on a portal website (which
mean you and your company don't have to worry about all the laws/rules for
credit card charging since it's all done via a portal web page).

Of course, it can be made much more customization doing all the work
(except the web service call for actual charging/verification of the CC)
but then you also need to make sure you're following all the rules with
data storage/transmission of CC numbers.

Feel free to contact me off line for more info.

Hi Chuck.
We went through that about 6 years ago. Developed a website to allow
customers to see a pdf of their phone bills, and make payments. We used
ASNA's AVR.NET and DataGate products to make that all happen, and it's
been very successful. Required a bunch of learning, and feeling like a
rookie, but it works. I don't know anything about the cost of the ASNA
licenses or how that compares with other options. I also don't know the
details about the security aspect, other than that the firewall, SSL, and
DataGate is configured to effectively isolate the IBM i, restricting access
appropriately.

I'm trying to put together (i.e. understand) what the best options
(tools) are for providing external access to iSeries data via the
internet and allow customer driven inquiry and on-line payment for
invoices. I know there seems to be dozens of tools and options, and
obviously security is an issue. So, please if you've "been there, done
that" point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance
