In my program, I have used STRPCO and STRPCCMD to invoke default browser
and the desired page on PC. Will this work with RUMBA?

No. STRPCCMD is iSeries Access only as far as I know. There are alternative PC servers for RUNRMTCMD (which uses the REXEC protocol), so you could use that as an alternative if you want to keep doing things this way. This also has the advantage that it works with other computer systems. You can submit a remote commands from/to other Windows machines, Linux machines, etc in addition to submitting them from the iSeries.



I also find the client access is going away and this may not be the ideal way to do. I tried to use a java program but that does not run on iSeries as it tries to invoke the browser on iSeries and errors out. What other ways have you all been working with?

However, if your goal is to create web pages in RPG and display them in a browser, wouldn't CGI make a lot more sense than running a remote command?


With CGI, you configure a library on your system as being accessible from the web server. Then, you do something like http://iseries.example.com/library/myrpgpgm.pgm and the web server runs your RPG program. Whatever your program writes out gets displayed in the browser automatically.

That just seems like a better alternative to me. Maybe I'm crazy.
