Re: Reg: JSON Field Name modification in HTTPD Configuration File

Hi Jim I agree 100%.

But if you can deploy a program in production you should be able to
re-deploy an IWS service.

Of course if Sarbanes says no, no is for both of them.

Well, maybe not accurate. You need the appropriate authority on the
system to do an IWS re-deployment, and proper authority to promote a
program into production. This is a significantly important separation of
duties in a Sarbanes Oxley or high security environment. Everyday
developers in those environments likely do not have that authority (or at
least should not) so an admin of some sort is needed.

That's the nice part of IWS: you don't need a sysadmin.

no matter how you minimize it, it is a task the programmer cannot do
and
has to rely on others for (in my experience)... if that sysAdmin is
out,
it
is possible you may not get to promote your minor changes api pgm until
they are back.
this has always been an unnecessary nuisance in my experience

Sure you have to deploy the updated program and the service but the
service
it's just the program's mirror and intalling takes just few lines of
code:

nomeScript = 'installWebService';
cmdString = pathComandoQSHIWS
+ nomeScript + '.sh '
+ '-server ' + WebServer + ' '
+ '-printErrorDetails '
+ '-programObject ' + LibPath + WebService + 'X.PGM '
+ '-service ' + WebServiceName + ' '

every shop I have worked with that deploys webservices with IWS,
not
only
had to promote their rpg webservice program via the normal CMS
route,
there
also had to be additional communication with a sysAdmin to deploy
those
webservices to the "next level"

Sure I'd think these steps may be able to be configured with the
CMS
but
none of these shops did and they were additional steps nonetheless.
A big part of this was probably the requirement with PCML usage -
which
is
also another non necessity as well.

thanks

Hi Jay, we use IWS and didn't find any "deployment dependencies"
in
five
years.

Update a service or a program makes no differences.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure you'll explaine why.

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.

Hi Jay,

So the only option for me is to change the RPG program.

Thanks a lot Jay.

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
