Call a program in AS400

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I try to call a program in AS400. Is this possible with PI. I made a research and found that through JDBC (with jt400) we can connect. BUT can we call a program which is written in RPG or COBOL?

Is this possible?

Thanks.

We have used the jt400 for AS400 and configured PI interfaces just like anyother JDBC interfaces.

Java Proxy was the solution.

Hi Chris,

I'm facing similar question that you were.

Can you tell me a little bit more about your solution?

Maybe provide a link with some documentation

Hi Chris,

I think you cannot call any programs directly using JDBC Adapters. Use Sender File Adapter. Create a bat or shell script which can call your code in AS400. Use this in "Run Operating System CommandBefore processing" use a trigger file to call the program.

Hi Chris.

You need of a specific adapter for this. You can search in a services.sap.com by company that supplies it or you can develop a new adapter.

My sugestion, if you don´t have time, work with FILE or JDBC (like the answers above).

Best Regards.

Any ideas?

Hi Chris -

You could schedule the AS400 program as a job in such a way that it will be triggered based on a trigger file. The trigger file can be generated using PI file communication channel and placed in the AS400 directory where the job expects it.
