RE: Alternatives for remote program call

No, RPG(sys-a) to RPG(sys-b). I don't really want to use an intermediate call to do this, but I need to get this going ASAP...

Normally I'd use the SQL call interface to do this, but this is not working for THIS application, due to the vendor written code that issues a SQL CONNECT TO command....

The intent is to create a common client that can run on any iSeries to access a service hosted on one of our boxes.

I am not entirely understanding the scenario.

Are you trying to call from Java on machine1 to RPG on machine2? Or is it
vice versa? Or both? I got the feeling it was both based on the first and
last paragraphs.

Subject: Alternatives for remote program call

I have the need to remotely call a program with full bi-directional
parameter support. My first thought was to use SQL (Connect to xxx; CALL
nnnnn (:p1, :p2, :p3)) to invoke this program, but as it turns out, that
called program issues a SQL CONNECT TO. This is not allowed, it seems.....

I'm trying to consider alternatives, but so far I'm not finding much....

I was wondering if it would be possible to write a Java program that would
use the Java Toolbox to remotely call my RPG. I am not very familliar with
the Java Toolbox, so I'm not sure it it even supports bi-directional
parameters. Has anyone done something like this?

Thanks for any ideas...
Eric
