The Question is:
I need to know what layered products I need, to create an API for Wndows 2000
that will submit a batch job on Openvms and return the results to a specified
VMS directory.
The Answer is :
You could configure the remote system for remote file access from the
OpenVMS system (FTP or HTTP), and configure a DCL CGI script that pulls
over and then submits the specified file. (The CGI script or a server
periodically scanning the batch queues or similar would have to handle
the notification of batch job completion.)
Alternatively, the typical OpenVMS interfaces likely of use here are
COM/DCOM and/or direct IP sockets and/or $qiow calls to the IP device
driver (for IP network communications), and the $sndjbc and $getqui
system service calls. These calls would probably be in the context
of a server or a task that would be invoked from a remote client.
Or you could use an X Windows Server on the remote system, and simply
use OpenVMS directly.
Please contact a Microsoft Windows Wizard for information on Windows
programming.
