RMTCMD AS400 -> PC
Marc Logemann
Hello,
we use CA V3R1 SP2.
Is there a chance to initiate a RMTCMD from a PC batch file?
i must start a CL after a certain PC program is finished.
thx for help!

Marc:
You can use the rmtcmd in the PC provided you have the rexecd started in the
AS/400 ( strtcpsvr *rexec ) . I think that the rexecd started in V3R7 but
I'm not 100% sure.

Yes you can initiate a RMTCMD from a PC batch file. Here is an example
from a batch file that I use:
****************************************************************************
**
REM *** ROP upload to AS/400 ***
D:\ROP\UPLOAD\RFROMPCB D:\ROP\UPLOAD\PCPOROP0.TFR
REM *** Remote console command to start program ***
RMTCMD /I D:\ROP\UPLOAD\UPLDROP.JOB
****************************************************************************
***
The rfrompcb transfers the file(pcporop0.tfr) to the AS/400.
The RMTCMD /I tells it to use the commands found in the UPLDROP.JOB file.
Here is that file. CALL PGM(*LIBL/PCM0969)
I hope this helps.

Naah, you have to do a sign on from the PC. Better strategy I think is
to make the PC program create something to signal it's finished
(finished.now, e.g.). On the AS/400, you would have a job every now and
then checking the PC for that file. If it finds it, delete it and start
the AS/400 program that has to be executed.
Checking on the PC can be done via Client Access, but is more simple if
you make the PC an FTP-server. Then create a batch-FTP program on the
AS/400 to check for files, but also upload, download, delete.

Yes, You can do this easy from the PC with FTP.
Here is an example of a .BAT:
It first sends a message, then submits a job.
-lines-
ftp -n -s:c:\mylib\script.txt
-more lines-
The script.txt looks like this:
open 165.9.142.111
user as400user as400passw
quote rcmd sndmsg msg('Hi from my PC!') tousr(as400user)
quote rcmd sbmjob cmd(CALL PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM)) job(MYJOB) jobq(MYQUE)
quit

In Your .BAT-file You insert a line like this:
ftp -n -s:c:\mylib\script.txt
In the file script.txt You put whatever commands You like.
For example:
open 111.222.333.444
user as400user as400passw
quote rcmd sndmsg msg('Starting CL-Prog Myprog!') tousr(as400user)
quote rcmd sbmjob cmd(call myprog) job(myjob) jobq(myjobq)
quit

Question, isn't putting a user id and password in a script that sits
local on your PC a security risk? Someone could just copy the script and
have your login and password.
Just a thought.

userid/password that anybody can see ? Just initiate this stuff from the AS/400.
How ? make the PC an FTP server (with e.g. Microsoft personal web server, it
comes free with the internet browser). Then automatically run a batch-ftp job
from the AS/400 to check for a certain PC-file (which signals a process on the
PC is finished) every x minutes. Then, if you find the file, start the process
on the 400.
Good luck

PC and can read/write from/to the local PC file and also the AS/400.
Therefore you could easily have the PC just add the records to the
appropriate AS/400 file as they are created.
just a thought.

I wouldn't trust a Microsoft product for security. I would just get
Apache (it's free also) and do it. You can set up a Linux partition over
a dos one and then use the Apache wed server and do the same thing, with
MUCH less security risk.
