Re: Running a command in another job

My suggestion would be to implement it in the webservice design with a
distinction between data and command to process
something like :
if the data received is *RELOAD do your reclaim activation group
if the data received is *CLOSE stop properly the program
etc...
else process the webservice...

then you need to write a webservice client program that sends the request
to your webservice...

I saw some other ideas, but I wonder if Carsten?s RUNJOBCD

would be a viable option.

For this type of thing, if it would have to happen often, I would look to
having the job check a dtaara or usrspc for a particular value and do an
orderly shutdown or reclaim the activation group.

I have a web service running in a named activation group in a CGI server

job. The activation group stays around between calls to improve
performance. When doing development, I need to end the activation group
so the program will shut down in order for it to pick up any program
changes I made. I could specify activation group *NEW when I'm doing
development, but I wouldn't want to do that in production. So, my idea
was to run a RCLACTGRP command in the server job from my interactive job.
I know there is a way to do that, but I can't remember how. I tried some
searching on the web, but I didn't have much luck. Anyone remember how to
run a command in another job that is active?
