iSeries™ Access
for Web provides support for running CL commands on an iSeries server.
A list of tasks that can be performed is shown below. Any of
these tasks can be restricted using the customize function.
- Run command
- CL commands can be run on the iSeries server. Support is provided to
prompt for parameter values. Commands can be run immediately or submitted
as batch jobs. The results of a command can be sent to the browser, placed
in the user's personal folder, or mailed to the user as an e-mail attachment.
Commands can also be saved for repeated use.
- My commands
- A list of saved commands for the current user can be displayed and managed.
From the list, saved commands can be run. A command can be retrieved and modified
manually. It is also possible to prompt a saved command for different parameter
values. Saved commands can also be deleted.
- Search
- Support is provided to search for CL commands either by name or by text
description. When searching for a command by name, an asterisk can be used
as a wildcard character. For example, searching for *DTAQ* returns all commands
containing the string DTAQ. When searching for commands by text description,
all commands containing at least one of the search words in their command
text description are returned.
Restrictions
- Prompt controls and prompt control programs for parameters are not supported.
- Key parameters and prompt override programs are not supported.
- Parameter value validity checking is not performed.
- Command mapping exit programs are not supported.
