RE: Web Monitoring Service

Jon,
We have test pages. So if I go to https://mywebsite/test I should get back a particular string.
Knowing that, it was quite simple to write something to consume that website like the following sample. Change the VALUES into a select into and that should hold your return string. I think, knowing what you do, I can spare you the details. If it fails I then email appropriate people. Even our Domino developers are connecting into IBM i sometimes just to use this function. It's just crazy simple.


values systools.httpgetclob('http://dekkohome.corp.dekko.com/gdintranet.nsf/edge', '');

-- To check for SQL4302
Select
MESSAGE_ID, -- The message ID for this message.
MESSAGE_TEXT -- The first level text of the message including tokens.
from table(qsys2.joblog_info('*')) A
-- where message_id='SQL4302'
order by ordinal_position desc
fetch first row only;
