 New Web Service Project
Hi, Currently an iSeries job runs every 10 minutes where, at the back end, a file is read (more than 400 fields), a pipe delimited file is created and FTP'd to an outside location. Volume would normally be low but intermittently there could be a spike. I need to replace the FTP process with a webservice. First time for me - have been googling but I need some help/direction - how to approach this. I have basic knowledge of Java and XML. iSeries is at V5R4, Websphere 5.1.2 (can't use Rational due to server restrictions). Read about SOAP, WSDL ,etc but need help. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Al
