Re: cURL Open source installation

For future reference in case you want something a little more self-contained for those QSH/PASE calls:

https://github.com/richardschoen/QshOni

QshOni
This IBM i library contains useful CL wrapper commands to allow Qshell and Pase apps to be called and consumed from regular IBM i jobs via CL, RPG or COBOL programs. It also has a CL command to scan stdout for a specific value if you need to do something simple to check for a successful command run.

The main benefit of this wrapper is to be able to integrate Qshell/Pase applications on-the-fly with standard IBM i job streams.

QSHONI/QSHEXEC CMDLINE('curl --request POST --url +
https://xxxxx.com/token +
--header "accept: application/json" +
--header "authorization: Basic +
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+
--data "{\"xxxxx_xxxx\": +
\"client_credentials\"}" -k > +
/tmp/token.txt') SETPKGPATH(*YES)

The SETPKGPATH parm will set the path to the Yum packages from IBM as wellas the multithreading.

You can also monitor for an error on the command if the QSH/PASE command fails and can write STDOUT results to an IFS file, OUTFILE, JOBLOG or Spool File.

Great for incorporating those QSH/PASE commands into standard batch jobs.

For the archives, in my CLLE program I did cd '/qopensys/pkgs/bin', then
added an envvar to fix an error per this page:

curl: (6) getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

https://bitbucket.org/ibmi/opensource/issues/92/curllib-7653
QIBM_MULTI_THREADED=Y

I'm able to get this to run in batch and leave the returned token to the
IFS. It's a cake walk from here :-)

CD DIR('/qOpenSys/pkgs/bin/')

--header "authorization: Basic +

--data "{\"xxxxx_xxxx\": +
