Native Calls
GoAnywhere Director™ includes Tasks for calling programs and commands on Windows, Linux, Unix and IBM i. These Tasks can be placed within Projects as part of an overall series of business processes to perform.
Example of Calling a Windows Program
IBM i Commands and Programs
GoAnywhere Director can call both IBM i commands and programs. When calling a command, you can indicate the command library/name to execute and any message IDs to monitor for. When calling a program, you can indicate the program library/name and its parameter types, lengths and usages (input/output/both). Constant values or Project variables can be passed into the parameters.
For instance, after retrieving some order files from a FTP server, you may want GoAnywhere Director to call a program on the IBM i to process those orders.
Example of calling an IBM i program
GoAnywhere Director can be installed onto Windows, Linux, IBM i, AIX (pSeries), UNIX, HP-UX, Mac OS and Solaris platforms. IBM i is also referred to as System i, iSeries, as400, as/400 and i5.
