Re: Problem related to Message DATAQ

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A bit more information please.

Who is going to be initiating the TCP/IP connection?  Is the AS/400 going to be
initiating the connection to another machine, or is another machine going to 
"Call"
the AS/400?  (Is the AS/400 for this program going to be the server or the 
client).

Once the connection is up, is it going to remain up?  Or if it drops is the 
AS/400 
going to try to initiate the connection again?

If there are outgoing packets (packets in the data queue to be sent to the 
TCP/IP
port) and the connection is not up, what needs to happen?  Does the AS/400 
initiate
the connection then send the packets?  Or does it wait for connection and then
transmit them?

The easiest of these scenarios is for the AS/400 to be a client, the AS/400 to 
initiate
the connection and for it to remain open.  For the AS/400 to reinitiate when it 
drops.
The reason for this is it's just a little bit easier to write a TCP/IP client 
then to
write a server (in fact, I've not seen a TCP/IP RPG Server program for the 
AS/400.).

The actual program could be a fairly small RPG program.  Take a standard 
sockets boiler
plate program, or template if you will, change it to connect to this certain 
port, and
then just route from/to data queues, not that difficult at all.
