Submit job in another AS400 system

[marunprasad]

Hi All,

We have Two AS400 machines. I will be running my CL program in machine1 which should submit a job in machine2. Is this possible?

Thanks in Advance.

This would be perfect for a trigger on ddm file or a ddm dataq...
or you could just try to get submit remote command to work. SBMRMTCMD

Thanks Jamie.

I made a few searches on this and found RUNRMTCMD. Which is better to use RUNRMTCMD or SBTRMTCMD?

Re: Submit job in another AS400 system

I have used neither -- I would GUESS that if you use the runrmtcmd you could check for errors...while you lose all control once a job is submitted... so between the two I would lean heavily towards the runrmtcmd. -- but just for a NERDY cool factor I would try the ddm dataq and send commands back and forth...but thats me

Re: Submit job in another AS400 system

Hi Jamie,

I am trying to use RUNRMTCMD. I will be executing a call statement in the RUNRMTCMD. This call statement will retrieve a set of records from the remote system. Since the RUNRMTCMD will keep the job in the Local system active, if i move the retrieved set of remote system records in QTEMP, once the RUNRMTCMD ends can i be able to copy the records from QTEMP to local system??

Thanks,
Arunprasad

create a DDM file on the remote system pointed back at the local system...
then just write and ignore QTEMP...

Jamie,

I will be doing it for 50 to 60 files. so i thought if QTEMP is used then it will easy to do a CPYF.

If DDM to be used i have to do it for 50 files. any ideas??

Thanks,
Arunprasad

Re: Submit job in another AS400 system

I think if there are 50 or 60 I would journal all table as well as add triggers to each..
the triggers could write to the DDM files...
just create all 60 DDM files into a separate library...

--or-- ????

anyone have a better idea???

How big are the files, and how often do you need to do this.

Could be simpler to save to tape and restore if they are small and it is daily or less often.

On the source machine:
You can populate new files (a trigger as Jamie suggested would work well here), or if the files are small you can just copy them, to a work lib.
On the target machine:
Run an FTP script to fetch all the files - this can be done dynamically (even on file name changes), and then delete them from the work lib.
Insert or update as required.
