Re: Why does node's Toolkit for i, use a database connection to execute CL commands?

Many thanks - you have done the donkey work for me :)

The documentation is pretty woeful....although probably better than mine!

I have never used xmltoolkit directly. Here I am just using the new

which I am sure uses xmltoolkit under the covers, but there is no

reference to an IPC value

at the level I am working with :(

The documentation is spread out between DeveloperWorks and YIPs. Search the
following page for "ipc":

Here's an example of assigning a value to "ipc" and passing it as a
parameter to the iConn() function in Node.js:

var xt =
require(“/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/Node/os400/xstoolkit/lib/itoolkit”);

var options = {

ipc : “/tmp/whatever”

};

var conn = new xt.iConn(“*LOCAL”, “USER”, “PASSWORD”, options);

Before you begin playing with "ipc" you might want to test the hypothesis
about your Node.js program starting and ending JOBS in a loop:

DSPLOG MSGID(CPF1124 CPF1164)

Monitor for JOB "start" and "end" messages. Fill in other DSPLOG command
parameters to limit the search if you know the JOB names.

You could set your queue wait time back to 5 seconds to do a stress test.

Tony Cairnes mused that the acronym "ipc" was derived from the Unix command
"ipcs", which displays a list of processes which are using shared memory
for inter-processes communications.
