Hi all, first let me state that I'm just learning about web services
using Scott Klement's pdf's.
What I'm trying to accomplish is this. I have a NEP on the V7R1 box
which I'm trying to control from the web.
As a first step I have the html and javascript working to call a web
service to start and stop the job.
What I want to do now is display the status of the job on the page. So
(assuming the job is stopped) when the page is first displayed I would
call my web service and pass action=status which would return stopped
and I would display Inactive on the page.
If I click the start button the web service is called with action=start
and the job is started and the page is updated to Active.
Where I'm looking for advice is when I click the stop button. It may
take 10 seconds for the job to actually end. So between the time that I
call the web service to end the job and when the job is actually ended I
want to display Ending... on the page.
So I'm thinking of two approaches.
Call the web service with action=status in a loop until the status is
ended. Only the update the page to Inactive.
Or when I call the web service to end the job I update the page with
Ending... and do not return a response from the RPG program until the
job is actually ended.
Does anyone have any advise on how to approach this issue.
Thanks,
Rob
