Re: [IBMiOSS] Using Nodev6 db2i/itoolkit

Here is a simplified version of the CL attempted, along with debug output.

var xt =
require('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Node6/os400/xstoolkit/lib/itoolkit');

var DBname = "*LOCAL";
var userId = "user";
var passwd = "pass";
var cl = "DSPSYSSTS";

console.log("CL statement : " + cl);
var conn = new xt.iConn(DBname, userId, passwd);
conn.debug(true);
conn.add(xt.iSh("system -i " + cl));
function cb(rs) {console.log(str);}
conn.run(cb);

Well, chop me down with a herring!

I left for a meeting, came back and isolated the sql code to simplify it
and see if I break it down and figure it out. I was going to show a
co-worker the SQL problem and boom, it worked, and I have no idea why!

But

the CL part of it is still giving me the SQLDescribeParam() failed error.

Aaron, I know you are one of the Open Source gurus around here, are there
any HowTo's to v8 on an iSeries, setting the correct paths and all that?

It took me a few days to figure out I had to get all the PTFs for 5733OPS
to actually have all the actual software, and then it kept running Node
v0.12, not v6, but I knew it was installed. So I ended up changing the
symbolic links manually. I just found the documentation that tells you to
run a script to do that today. :P

Thanks,

Kev

Thanks for the reply Aaron

It is version 6, the default install of 5733OPS plus PTFs, although I

did

install v8 rpm and then "yum erase"d it. V8 would not run, probably due

to

lib path issues and since I am new to all this, I decided it would be

best

to stick with the defaults. But possibly the install/erase of v8 broke
things?

Below is the code. It's a basic copy/paste of what I found on the link
listed in the first email. except for the db credentials, etc.

var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
var url = require('url');
var db = require('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Node6/os400/db2i/lib/
db2a');
var xt = require('/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/OPS/Node6/os400/xstoolkit/
lib/itoolkit');

var DBname = "*LOCAL";
var userId = "user";
var passwd = "pass";
var ip = "IPaddress";
var port = 8000;

var webserver = http.createServer((req,res) => {
var realPath = __dirname + url.parse(req.url).pathname;
fs.exists(realPath, (exists) => {
if(!exists){
var sql = url.parse(req.url, true).query.sql;
var cl = url.parse(req.url, true).query.cl;
if(sql && sql.length > 0) {
console.log("SQL statement : " + sql);
var dbconn = new db.dbconn();
dbconn.conn(DBname, userId, passwd); // Connect to the DB
var stmt = new db.dbstmt(dbconn);
stmt.exec(sql, (rs) => { // Query the statement
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end(JSON.stringify(rs));
console.log(rs);
stmt.close();
dbconn.disconn();
dbconn.close();
});
}
if(cl && cl.length > 0) {
console.log("CL statement : " + cl);
var conn = new xt.iConn(DBname, userId, passwd);
conn.add(xt.iSh("system -i " + cl));
conn.run((rs) => {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.end(xt.xmlToJson(rs)[0].data);
});
}
} else {
var file = fs.createReadStream(realPath);
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'text/html'});
file.on('data', res.write.bind(res));
file.on('close', res.end.bind(res));
file.on('error', (err) => {
res.writeHead(500, {'Content-Type':'text/plain'});
res.end("500 Internal Server Error");
});
}
});
});
webserver.listen(port, ip);
console.log('Server running at http://' + ip + ':' + port);

What version of Node.js?

Can you post your code so we know exactly which example you're talking
about?

FWIW, if you're using Node.js v6.x then I'd upgrade to Node.js v8.x and
work through issues with that version. https://github.com/nodejs/Rele

I am researching db2i and itoolkit by starting with IBM's examples at
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibmi/library/i-native-js-

nodejs/
at not having much luck.

The SQL part of the script is connecting to the DB2 server, but any

"Select

* From library/db" results in an empty brackets []. If I send query

"VALUES

current date", I do get [{"00001":"2018-03-29"}] back. If I put in

bad

credentials, I do get auth errors, so it seems to be connecting to

the

server.

The same queries work fine from STRSQL.

Also the CL part of the example just returns

Error: SQLSTATE=PAERR SQLCODE=-1 SQLDescribeParam() failed.
at Error (native)

I am new to nodejs, the plan was to find examples for the iSeries,

watch

them work, then see how the work and start from there.

Also wondering if my other issue might have some relation to this

problem

(see "Broken npm?" thread in OpenSource).

Thanks
