Programcall from PI 7.10 to an iseries-plattform

Former Member

Hi experts.

Is it possible to call a program on an iseries-plattform (AS400) from PI.

Either CL-program or a RPG-program.

If so, any idea how I can do it ?

I will call the program with a customer-number en return with some customer-data.

Thanks

Carlsen,

I think you can try with OS commands to call the program, but the response capturing will be difficult in XI. Else call the program from the script and write the response as a xml file in a shared drive. Then you can pick that response with another interface and can continue.

Also you can call the program directly from SAP skipping XI. You have a function module SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM.

Else check 12.4 in this document:

I wonder if you solved the problem of access from XI/PI to as400 program, if so could you send me an example without using abap why do I need to respect the architecture proposed.

Hi.

No I haven't solved the problem. I tried to do make a programcall directly from SM59 to an RPG-program on the AS400, but I did'nt work. Any suggestion ?
