Re: rpg webservices asynchronous

You've summed it up the phrase "The topic, in total, is very broad ..." Booth.

Which of the multitude of topics does one do the first video on ? Believe me I've thought long and hard about teaching this stuff and there's no easy answer. For sure IBM's docs don't help. They seem to assume that we all speak Unixese and (since the majority of us don't) we're left with wizards that do a lot of the work for you but don't really explain what the various settings are for and which you need when.

I think for an IBM i audience it may well be that the best approach is to do as many have done and simply pose the "I need to create a web service to do ..." type of question and we all roll from there. Of course I'd love for everyone to come to the RPG & DB2 Summit and have Scott Klement teach them the basics - but sadly that is not reality. (And yes I know that folks could also go to COMMON for this but they get enough free publicity anyway <grin>)

Sure wish there was a showman on here who would make a couple of how-to video tutorials on this. The topic, in total, is very broad, and trying to cover everything at once ends with face-smacking 178-page .pdfs.

What I found in trying to follow this same path is a littering of stale, irrelevant SOAP stuff, overwhelming detail, and an apparent assumption that RPG programmers were taught 21st-Century technology in 20th Century classrooms.

In no way am I downplaying the offerings that are out there; unfortunately I am not flying at that altitude and never will.

Hello Victor,

There are several sources to get you started with turning RPG programs into
webservices.
Maybe you can start with this link :

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27009770

Also a pdf from Scott Klement might get you on your way :

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
