RE: How to check if a specific job is running on a different iSeries box

Can you please point me in the right direction for creating and calling a stored procedure on a remote iseries?

I read thru much of

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/SG246503/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm

and it is quite complex.

In order to run a TAATOOL command on a remote iseries, I am thinking that the Stored Procedure must be CL.

The redbook doesn't mention much of CL based stored procedures.

It sounds like I want to use an "External" stored procedure, as that supports CL.

Will an external stored procedure support the remote system calling of TAATOOL command CHKACTJOB and return a "yes" or "no" flag?

For example a job is running on SYSA and I would like to detect if APACHEDFT1 job is running on remote system SYSB.

Will this do the trick?

Any examples?

Thanks!

Call a stored procedure which executes something on the remote system and
returns an aye or nay.
