Re: Library list in CGIDEV2

We do something similar by ensuring the application is in a named activation group, and that every request goes through a routing program that is in a completely different activation group.

Each request will need to contain the selected product area (unless you are using session management, in which case it can be stored in the session).
This enables the routing program to check the product area on the request to see if it different from that used on the previous request. If it is different then the routing program can change the library list and reclaim the application activation group. Finally it calls the application cgi program to process the request.

That us a very high level overview of one possibility. Hopefully it will give you some ideas.

Hello All,

I'm new to CGIDEV2 & am trying to work my way out of rather simple
processes on the green screen.

We have 18 identical databases based on 18 product areas. I'm trying to
find a comparatively 'easier' way of accessing identical files from any of
the 18 databases based on the user's choice.

I've done this using the usropn function in RPG but I plan to use SQL. So
I feel it would be easier to use the CHGLIBL command to set the library
list before using any SQL command. The problem is how ??

After the login screen I plan to have another screen where the various
product areas are listed (using Radio buttons) & the various applications
are listed (in the form of links / Radio buttons, which is better ??). The
user will then have to select any one product area & an application to
proceed. Is this a good way of doing it ??

I've tried to search the net unfortunately I couldn't find anything. All
suggestions are welcome.

Thanks & best regards
Ewart
