RE: Web Services Server and new RPGLE API

Following Jon's instructions we tried several changes and options and it seemed there was a firewall permissions issue. However, our security tech sent me a report that showed I had accessed the port without problems. I opened a ticket with IBM and finally today the API works. The issues were:

1. Special characters are not allowed in the parameter description. I originally defined the input parameter as ACCT#. this caused the IWS server to mis-interpret the input parameter portion (ACCT#) of the URL. Changing the parameter name to ACCTNBR in the RPGLE pgm and on the template variable name in the IWS wizard then brought up the 2nd issue.

2. [5/6/21 15:49:23:189 EDT] 0000004e SystemErr R java.lang.RuntimeException: Host server job initialization failed.
CPFB8E9: ASP group IASPCFI not set for thread X'000000000000022F'

This may be an issue only with IASP installations. Commnad SETASPGRP ASPGRP(IASPCFI) CURLIB(*CURSYSBAS) USRLIBL(*CURUSR) is executed under the covers somewhere and issued error message CPFB8E9. I had created a usrprf just for this test. My personal profile could execute the command without error. Adding the same group profile from my personal usrprf to the test usrprf solved the error - authority. To what object(s) I'm not yet sure.

Many thanks to Jon who worked with me on this offline. He helped me out right away. IBM took a while.

If you like I can get on a screen share with you tomorrow and see if I can see anything. Just email me off list.

Anything else is just guessing I'm afraid.

Jon,

I tried that url also. I followed IBMs examples and your video also. Perhaps I did something wrong or something is not setup correctly.

I had a few issues with the wizard and our IASP but it all finally seemed ok.
