The purpose of the copy was security. The web server has to be authorized to the library where the DB2WWW program exists and if you gave it authority to QSYS any QSYS program could be run by the web server. Why IBM just didn't ship with a QCGI library with nothing but DB2WWW in it I don't know.

Larry,
Perhaps the copy in one of those other libraries will work? Read my
entire original email.
I did a DSPPGM of the one in QHTTPSVR on my V5R4 system. It's created on
V5R4, for V5R4, and, thus, should have no problems passing ANZOBJCVN.
Matt,
I like your idea but I would have no idea how to construct the parameters.
But, judging by the DSPPGM there are no parameters.
Now I am thinking of two options:
1 - Copy QHTTPSVR/DB2WWW into CGI.
2 - Change all directives to refer to QHTTPSVR and not CGI.
Any reason why we would have been recommended to copy to our user library
in the first place? Perhaps a way to back out of a bug if IBM put out a
bad copy? Just in case IBM DOES delete that program in some future
release? In case IBM gets funny and wants to rename the libraries (like
QHTTPSVR becomes QDG1 or QWAS or whatever the webserver du jour is). If
the recommendation was for any of these reasons, then Matt's suggestion
wouldn't help. If the suggestion was by the truly paranoid then perhaps I
should just change the directives?

Re: [WEB400] DB2WWW dying
Yes, I know that DB2WWW is an object supplied by IBM. It is the CGI
program
that processes Net.Data macros. My concern is that if it does not work at
V6R1 - and this is the first time that I have heard this - then neither
will
any of the Net.Data macros that we use

If DB2WWW will not run at V6R1, what happens to Net.Data?

Rob,
Create a CLLE program in activation group *CALLER that calls
QHTTPSVR/DB2WWW. This CL should go in library CGI and your INI file (if
you
use one) also needs to go in library CGI.
Also, Options +Exec and your ScriptAlias are redundant. It's totally
harmless but you should be aware of it.
Matt

Subject: [WEB400] DB2WWW dying
I have a library called CGI. It has one program in it called DB2WWW. That
program fails ANZOBJCVN and thus won't work on V6R1. I see that I have
other copies of it in other libraries, like: QHTTPSVR, QSYSCGI, QTCP.
I'm pretty ignorant on web stuff. But I do have one little net.data item.
How do I tell what the url uses?
http://###.###.###.###/CGI-BIN/DB2WWW/qsys.lib/routines.lib/qhtml.file/bkplog.mbr/report
Tools, Display Configuration File
54 <Directory /QSYS.LIB/CGI.LIB/>
55 Options +ExecCGI
56 Allow From all
57 </Directory>
...
74 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/db2www/ /qsys.lib/cgi.lib/db2www.pgm/
Hey, I think I am figuring this out a little...
Old beer soaked brain cell recalls that somewhere I was encouraged to take
one of these standard copies and place it into a private library. Can't
recall why. Which one should I be using? Of course the first question
might be: Which of these passes ANZOBJCVN or is in some system library I
should be able to assume will be refreshed with V6R1?
What do you recommend?
