Thanks Suren...

Yes of course -the normal CMS approval/promote request.

there is not a way to make your json field changes in the http config

file.

Only in the rpg pgm itself and then re-promote it.

thanks

Hi Jay and Tim,

I’m currently using the HTTP Server on IBMi with the CGI Programming

call

method, not IWS.

My HTTPD configuration looks like below

Regarding the promotion of RPG program changes, the process will take

some

time. It's not due to the RPG object itself, but because the process we
follow involves approvals and coordination across multiple teams.
Additionally, given the holiday season, many team members are on

vacation.

Suren

Tim,

Is what you are suggesting, by modifying the swagger definition

within

IWS

really going to change the rpg program code as well?
From my experience developing webservices with IWS, it would not.

thanks

Jay

the

swagger doc that IWS creates…just change the values there.

Thanks Tim

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [WEB400] Reg: JSON Field Name modification

in

HTTPD Configuration File
that is the only way Suren,

But why does it take a lot of time to promote the changed object to
production?
Is it due to the deployment dependencies of IWS? If so I

completely

understand - that is one of the biggest pains when utilizing IWS.
I always discourage IWS and suggest the client uses a solution that
involves a little customized CGI programming directly interfacing

the

Apache server.

thanks

Hi All,

I use an HTTP Server on IBMi with a CGI call method to handle

my

web

services. Typically, the JSON response data is generated in

an

RPG

program

and uploaded to the Standard Output location. The CGI method

then

retrieves

this JSON data from Standard Output and sends it as a

response

to

the

external client.

Currently, I have a requirement to modify the field names in

the

JSON

response. For example:
Original data:
{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Doe"
}

Modified Data:
{
"customerFirstName": "John",
"customerCLastName": "Doe"
}

The goal is to change the field name "firstName" to

"customerFirstName"

and

"lastName" to "customerLastName".


Is there a way to achieve this by adding some configuration

to

the

HTTPD

file, or is modifying the RPG code the only viable solution?

I’d greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on this.
Regards,
Suren
