I am working with a Web CGI script and need to request information off another Virtual machine and get a synchronous response back (eg: in a PIPE).
I could use REXEC but this could be a bit cludgey for a number of reasons (mainly to do with checking the userid in not logged on at the time). I could try pre-building the data into a filepool directory and retrieving it from there but the data is fairly dynamic so it would need to be rebuilt constantly. The CA routines for running an EXEC on another user and getting the output seem to need a logon first (this will be a widely used page and public data) I could get into a complicated PIPE in the CGI script that waits on a STARMSG with a time-out breaking the GATE but I would prefer not to do that. I am convinced that I am missing something very obvious - but I cannot think what. Does anyone have any ideas?? Colin Allinson Amadeus Data Processing GmbH
