Re: help with DECS problems. -- DOMINO400

As far as the Hi-Test API's, they are no longer supported or available.  We
tried to get these for one of our customers and talked with Lotus Support
and that was the response.

I believe that you should be able to write an agent that would compare keys
between the legacy system and the Notes db and then process accordingly.

I do know that RNext will have another product that will allow you to
create virtual views to backend data.  Once again, this would not be free.

Here are some links to Notes.Net information that may help...

Rob and pnelson,

The domino server and db2 data is on the same box.

Using the apis would be a good solution, when domino was first ported to
the
as/400, they gave away some examples of rpg programs that used the apis (I
think they called them Hi-test C apis?).  I've looked for them, but I
haven't
been able to find them.

anyone know where I can find them?  I'll look for the api documentation and
roll my own, if that's what I have to do.

Thanks,

Richard Baird

Isn't there an API out there you could call from a trigger program based
onthe DB2 file to update the Domino database?Rob Berendt

domino400[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]Hi all,I'm working on my web
based domino ap using DECS to mirror an as/400 fileinthe notes ap.  I'm
having several problems though.Here are a few particulars:  The file I'm
working with is a work filegenerated and  modified by native as/400
applications - it is fairlyvolatileas far as record adds, updates and
deletes.  the notes ap only updatescertainfields in the file.  The form
that DECS monitors only has a few of thefieldswith editing allowed.  the
rest are "computed for display".   The DECSactivity is defined as "open,
update"I'm on os/400 V4R4 and R5.0.8.1.  Records added to the file via
native programs do not appear in thenotesdatabase.2.  If I "initialize
keys" the new records appear in notes, but it adds allrecords from the
file, even if they already exist. (duplicates).3.  After I open, change and
save a document, the as/400 file is updated,butthe link to the form from
the view is changed to "<blank>".I could change my application to only
allow notes to add records to thedatabase, but I was under the impression
that DECS was two way street, thatifrecords are added or changed in the
table natively, the new documents wouldbeavailable in notes.Any ideas?
What am I missing?  any help here would be greatly appreciated.Richard
