  • Is API outage required when an IWS API program is changed ??

    //Re-posting here to get some traction//

    Hello

    We use IWS Wizard to expose RPG programs as APIs. At times we need to make changes in that RPG program and there can be two types of change.

    a) I/O parameter change
    b) NO I/O parameter change, but logic change inside the program.

    My question is, once we compile the program, do we need to bring down and redeploy the API again in both the above cases ???

    In the case of a) - absolutely since parameter mapping between the underlying Java and RPG will have changed.

    As to b) I suspect that stopping and re-starting the app server is all that should be required. Does the manual not offer any assistance in that regard

    This board (Code400) is very good for a lot of questions but for this one midrange.com's WEB400 would be a better choice as the IBMers responsible for IWS follow that list and often respond to questions like this.
