Re: How to approach AS/400 data to 'shopping cart' -- WDSCI-L

Thanks for all the interest, I have gotten some more info from my Manager, we want to add the shopping cart functionality to an existing application, but not use the front end that goes with it. Mostly use it behind the scenes to keep track of activity. We do have Websphere ecommerce, and have been looking on the IBM site. When I search for requirements, or how it needs the data given to it, I get alot of info but none of it seems to answer my question. I will check out the Zend link, sounds interesting.

Thanks again for the input folks.

It seems to me that the Original Poster was looking for some avenues to
approach. Zend Core has a nice shopping cart which is fairly easy to
implement, and IBM is including Zend on the midrange boxes now. This
may be a place you want to at least begin.

http://www.zen-cart.com/

You can download and install Zend on your workstation and take a day or
two playing around and then you will have a whole list of new
questions. :)

Highly doubtful QTEMP would be used.

Since a user may use a different connection for each page and each
connection is serviced by it's own job with it's own QTEMP.

This doesn't have much to do with WDSC, and I think you'll get better responses on a site that is geared toward iSeries application design or architecture.

But...

I imagine most applications would use a QTEMP library table for a shopping cart, if the architecture uses one host job per shopper. If one host job services multiple shoppers, than said QTEMP table would need to separate shoppers by a session ID key.

In SQL, QTEMP tables are typically created using the DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE SESSION/my_table_name statement. Once created, said table can be accessed like any other table, but only within the job that created it.

There are so many ways to do what you're talking about, that once you find a better site to discuss this in detail, you need to provide more details about what you're architectural constraints are, in order to get responses that come close to meeting your needs.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] How to approach AS/400 data to 'shopping cart'

Good morning,

I have been asked to check into how I can take AS/400 data and put it in a format that would be accepted into a 'shopping cart' ecommerce format.

My supervisor is not well versed in this, and I am not sure if I am looking for the correct thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
