Vern,

I'll give it a look and see what our Systems Programmers know if its
set up already.

Thanks,

Dave

The original Net.Data manual has setup information in Chapter 2, I
think. It does seem directed at the Original HTTP Server, not Apache -
the directives seem a bit off. But the Redbook on Apache on the iSeries
has information on this. Find it at

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246716.pdf

Chapter 7.3 has the information.

Peter,

Great news. I may take you up on your offer. I first have to figure
out how to access Net.Data and if I have everything installed to do

so.

Any thoughts?

Thanks much,

Dave

Dave,
It's my contention that Net.data is hard to beat as an easy to use,

out

of the box (free) system i solution.
There is so much that can be achieved using a Net.data script without

ever having to compile custom programs in any language on the server.

But any solution can be made as difficult as you can make it

depending

on the complexities of the requirements. However, as has been said,

the

cleaner the design, the easier it is to later migrate any solution to

another, particularly if it employs SQL as a major component, as is
possible with Net.data. And Net.data can still make calls any of your

existing programs if need be.

For very little investment in time, the benefits of attempting simple

solutions via Net.data could mean this is not a risky strategy.

As a proponent, I am prepared to develop (for free) some ready to use

scripts for any project you wish use as a prototype
providing you supply some concise requirements. Perhaps then you

could

come to your own conclusion.

Cheers, Peter

Too expensive when compared to DataQuant; not enough included. Done
my homework.

Look at iSeries access for web - it gives you stuff like spool files

out of the box.

I only have to build some simple web pages that have menu items that

are invoked by number or button. These menu items will invoke system

commands or programs. The commands would be things like work with
spoolfile where the actual invoking userid would be different than

the

user using the web app. This to prevent the user from having
anything
above user privileges when they need to look at spoolfiles created by

another userid that invoked the job creating those spoolfiles.
Again,
the programs being invoked would be some REXX, some CL/RPG and DB2
Query
Manger queries. The output from those queries would go to a file
which
can be accessed via DataQuant, their online query tool or to a
spoolfile
with they can look at with the function mentioned first. Something
like that.

I think your best bets are PHP or Java.

On Java, I would suggest JSF (because of similarity to ASP.net --

particularly when using IBM's tool), Grails, or Project

Zero/WebSphere

sMash. (The last is a new product from IBM that promises rapid
development for Java, but it doesn't run on IBM i....actually, come

think of it, it runs PHP, too).

On PHP, I would suggest going with the Zend Framework (free

download

from Zend.COM).

It sounds to me as Java+bells and whistles may be overkill if Dave
just

need some scripting of an existing solution.

I'd have a look on which scripting possibilities the existing

solution

has, and then consider how to invoke them.
