Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: send text msg to phone from IBM i

Rob thanks for this example...

I'm trying to duplicate the below qsys2.get_clob with a
systools.httpgetclob (because I'm not on the new release with the
qsys2.get_clob...

Do you know if it can be done?

Scotts qsys2.get_clob example...

values Qsys2.Http_Post(
'
https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/xxxxxx/Messages.json
'
,cast(
'To=+1999999999' concat
'&From=+1999999999' concat
'&MessagingServiceSid=xxxxx'
concat
'&Body=iSee Rest Text Message Test ' as varchar(855)
)

,'{"basicAuth":"xxxxxx,999999",

"header":"content-type,application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}'
);



My attempted version with systools.httpgetclob...

values systools.httppostclob('
https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Messages.json
'
,cast (

'To=+xxxxxxxxxxx' concat

'&From=+xxxxxxxxxxxx' concat

'&MessagingServiceSid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' concat
'&Body=Jays
Twillio test ' as varchar(855)
)
-- ,cast(null as clob(1k))
,'{"basicAuth":"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

"header":"content-type,application/x-www-form-urlencoded"}'
);

when I run this I'm getting...

sql state 38000
vendor code -4302

Message (sql4302) java stored procedure or user-defined functions
systools.httppostclob, specify name http000013 aborted with an exception
"Content is not allowed in prolog".

After reading
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.3?topic=overview-httppostblob-httppostclob-scalar-functions
It appears to me there are 2 required parms (1st parm url and 2nd,3rd parm
header) and one optional (2nd parm XML document).

You can use sql to call third party API’s to send txt msgs through

I get ~200 emails a day. At all hours. I purposely set my phone to not
alert me on emails. This keeps my marriage a happy one.

Fellow employees all know if it is an emergency during non-working hours
they need to text or call.

And I do check my emails quite frequently.

You know, here's my question about this.

Everyone has smart phones now. What's the difference between getting an
alert for a text or an email? Do people just ignore email alerts?

Hi Jay,
I, too, think that the Web API route is the best. But when I last sent
SMS
without a web api, I used a cellphone connected to USB that worked
like a
standard Hayes Modem. It was just a matter of connection to it via the
USB/serial port and sending 2 or three AT commands, I think one of them
was
AT+CMGS. There's also real GSM modems that connect via serial or usb
and
they're still to be bought and in use for embedded systems stuff.
Still, save yourself the hassle and go the web api route, don't forget:
it's very hard to make your text sending redundant with your own
infrastructure.
Best regards, RS

Aside from calling a 3rd party web api, is there a way to send text
messages from the IBM i to a phone number if you don't know the
carrier?
