Re: Fw: Prestart jobs... how does it work ?

[Alan Campin <alan0307d@xxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't published it. I have two. iSeries Interface and iTransfer. Both
are socket servers thus the need for the pre-start jobs.

iSeries Interface is basically an end to end replacement for a stored
procedure call except you stream the data instead of trying to pass in
parameters.

I have two version of iTransfer. One that is written as a multi-treaded C
program and one using pre-start jobs and RPG.

The concept of iTransfer is to stream data to a memory resident file and
then make a normal stored procedure call to do the processing and after
that stream back the results.

Basically I am trying to solve the problem of data being flexible (The
phrase a friend of mine came up with is that "data is elastic"). It grows
and shrinks. Passing data via parameters just doesn't cut it. Anyway, that
is the idea. Whether anyone else will find it interesting is another
question.
