RE: Linux to AS/400 from RPG

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How loose or tightly coupled do you need this app to be?  If you need it
to be loosely coupled, maybe because the RPG programs are part of a
separate SOA(Service Oriented Architecture), then I would create some
"RPG Web Services" by having your front end POST XML via HTTP to your
back-end iSeries RPG which is being served up by Apache.  I have built
all of the tools needed to do this - if you want them contact me offline
(they are all currently compiled to V5R2 so I hope that isn't a
problem).

If it can be tightly coupled, then I would do like the others are
suggesting - submit right to database from the front end.

Subject: Linux to AS/400 from RPG

I want to take a file containing orders from a linux mysql database and
move it over to an AS/400. How can I do this from an RPG program?

The users will enter orders into a website (which puts the data into a
database) then when they press accecpt it will tell someone at this
company that there is an order waiting for verification. That person
will then check the order, put prices and send back a copy with the
prices. If the person accepts the prices then he will click a button and
it is the sales rep's job to take this order and put it into the as/400.
I can do the website portion very easily. The only problem I have is
figuring out the best way to put the data on the as/400, in the correct
places.

Any input would be great
