You really have no choice but to use VMware Workstation, if you use a bare metal hypervisor, you lose the option to use it as your main system.

Just install Windows 8 and purchase VMware workstation, it can run an ESXi host(if you want to learn ESXi) and you can nest VMs, or you can just create the VMs inside of Workstation and have them talk via bridged networking…

why would you stripe 4 SSD Drives? I would stripe in pairs, and use the 500GB to backup VMs to, download Veeam Zip to do that… 2 datastores would run faster than one.

One physical nic is fine. VMware workstation adds its own network stack and you can then pass through from your local lan to the VMs vmnics…

Welcome to ITKE, bestvb! My suggestion is to create a new question so our experts can try to help you solve your issue.

Tom,

Here is what I should have told you before, but, I didn’t think it was relevant. Now, I am thinking that it is based on your questions. .

I spool a job on the as400. This spooled job is then subsequently merged with a tiff form overlay which is stored in an imaging system, The software package that accomplishes this is Real Vision Software.

So, this spool file never gets printed to any of the printers that I have mentioned. Yet, when viewed thru the imaging system utilizing the image viewer, the fonts utilized on the form overlay are much softer, when compared to the font that is used for the printed information that is coming directly from the as400 spool file.

So, I was wondering if there was a way to use a different as400 font, but, I am not actually printing the form to any of the pritners that I mentioned before.

Sorry I didn’t bring this up before, but, I am very confused.

If you still need the information on the printer, I can get there for you from the computer operator that works out there,

Thanks for your assistance,

I want to know how exe file can make for my project contains database and vb codes

Who told you you had to?
What problem are you trying to solve?

It has worked for me too. Thank you so much.

Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs.
Currently i am using message monitors in Management Central to alert me using SNDDST command when ever the specified message ID’s occur in QSYSOPR. These monitors working absolutely fine till the monitors are in ‘Started’ status. But these monitors are not reliable as these are going to “Failed” status randomly. I don’t even get proper solution also from IBM from past 6 months. so, I am looking for alternative solution.

Now, I have created a session using the command STRWCH which monitors the message queue and call the program. The program contains only SNDDST command, but i dont see it is working.The below session is for testing.

The session details :
Session ID . . . . . : ALERTMON Started:
Started by: Date . . . . . . . : 05/17/13
Job name . . . . . : QPADEV0008 Time . . . . . . . : 05:35:35
User . . . . . . . : QSECOFR Call exit program:

Library . . . . . : MADHUTST
Origin . . . . . . . : STRWCH
Run priority . . . . : 25

Bottom
Please suggest & advise if this approach works to monitor QSYSOPR (or) QSYSMSG.

Define “better”. Define “transferring data”.
.
“Better” might involve usability or performance or bandwidth or a number of other variables. “Transferring data” might be record replication or message passing or object distribution or large library savefiles or a number of other kinds of stuff.

The only times this should be done is when you want to display or print a TIMESTAMP variable as a DATE value. Otherwise it makes no sense to say “dd/mm/yy format”. The format is only for human eyes to read, not for internal use in program logic or storage in a file.
.
Of course, there are exceptions when working with files created before DATE, TIME and TIMESTAMP data types were available. But new normal code should have no need for such a conversion. You mostly just extract the date portion into a DATE variable and use the job’s DATFMT() to do any formatting.

The message subfile DDS is needed to be more sure about what’s happening in the program to get the error. However, there are things that don’t look right.
.
First, I can’t see where you put anything into the SFLPGMQ field. Without the DDS I don’t know what it’s field name is, so it might be there somewhere.
.
Then I don’t see where MHSTAK gets a valid value. It seems to be a CHAR (4) variable, but that’s wrong. It should be 10I 0 to be an integer value. As a 4-byte character field initialized to blanks, it’s going to be pointing to the call stack entry that’s 1077952576 entries above the current program’s position in the stack. That would be a VERY deep call stack. It could explain why the API can’t find the correct call stack entry. (A CHAR (4) field that contains blanks will have a hex value of x’40404040′. As a 32-bit integer, that’s a decimal value of 1077952576.) Unfortunately, you’re coding in RPG III for some unknown reason; so you’ll need to work out a useful way to get the correct binary value into that parm. RPG III doesn’t really have a correct data type.
.
And it’s not important, but ERRLEN really should also be 10I 0 and not a ‘B’ data type. It doesn’t make a difference here since a value of zero is the same either way, but it can make a difference under some circumstances. A good Rule Of Thumb is to never use data type ‘B’ unless you know why it needs to be done. (And that should probably never happen.)
.
Finally, is there any chance you can turn this into reasonably modern code instead of using RPG III? Why would you want to code a new program in a language that’s at least 20 years out of date? Much of the code is effectively obsolete. You are trying to get help for a language that the rest of us are trying to forget. It was great 30 years ago, but it should be left behind.

There is one specific clue, TEXT(‘Hewlett-Packard 8150′), and a couple general clues, TYPE(*IPDS) and MFRTYPMDL(*HP5SI). The three RMTLOCNAME()s make it appear as if there are three different physical printers.
.
Now, are there three printers? And what are the three printer types? That is, who made each printer and what kinds or models are they? I should have asked more clearly the first time.
.
Knowing what kinds of printers they are will help in knowing what can be done with them. The more specific you can be about the physical printers, the better chance we’ll have.
.

My understanding was that the “driver” file had a ColumnName column and an Operator column. That would mean that one row might contain:
EMPNAME GE
And a second row might have:
DATE EQ
.
The two resulting clauses would be:
WHERE A.EMPNAME >= B.EMPNAME
and
WHERE A.DATE = B.DATE
.
The first driver file column contains the name of a column rather than a value. The two files, fileA and fileB both have column names that correspond to the possible values in ColumnName.
.
But the OP needs to clarify.

sir,i don’t know how to connect vb with sql please send me the information how to connect vb with sql (please send me in step by step procedure)
thank u sir

Here I am assuming you are talking RPGLE.
Use the %DATE built in function with format of %DATE(TIMSTAMPFLD) replacing the name in the parantheses with your timestamp field name.
If you are writing this to another a field in another file defined as a date field, you can do a ‘datefld = %DATE(TIMSTAMPFLD)’ right into the field.
If you want to display this on a display file or printer file, define the date field you want to move this to with DATFMT(*DMY).
If you ever want to do this with the time in the time stamp field, do %TIME(TIMSTAMPFLD) and put it to a field defined in what ever time format you want.
The ILE RPG reference guide lists all available date and time formats as well as all of the handy built in functions that you might need in the future.

An obvious con is people could infect the network with a virus…A pro is that it would cut down on equipment cost for the company if personal device were allowed. It all comes down to your security and how trustworthy your employees are. The only way our employees are allowed remote access is thru a VPN.
Wireless access is a different story, connections show but require a password. Not everyone gets it. Only company devices that have been approved will get access and we have to sign an agreement. Do not know if someone gave the password to another user using a personal device would be able to log in but I wouldn’t risk my job over it.

Yep. All you need to do is sit in one identity theft seminar and you would think twice about using Facebook. IBM Common offered a seminar on identity theft a few years back and it was a real eye opener. If you post info like actual birthdate, city you live in, schools you went to or list other family members..you left yourself wide open. It’s amazing how little is needed to get one’s entire life story on line. A lot from public records and other organizations that may be sharing your info with out your knowledge… I don’t even bank on line or have a smart phone.. To easy for people to intercept electronic communications these days. If you are worried the best thing is keep it to yourself.
