I was at SHARE and attended a session about the new HTTP client service - a callable service built into the BCP to allow programs to be HTTP clients and retrieve information over the HTTP protocol.
I thought of another useful service that could use some of the same components of the HTTP protocol, which would be to allow programs to send Short Message Service messages - also known as text messages. My proposed use case is only outbound, for mobile notifications of things - perhaps an accounting threshold is crossed by a transaction, or an automated operations tool wants to immediately notify someone of a critical situation. I created an RFE on developerworks for this - if you'd like to follow it or think it'd be useful and want to vote for it, I believe the number is 85091 (my first RFE so I'm unsure), and the link is here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=85091 Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
