Native Calls

GoAnywhere includes Tasks for calling programs and commands on System i, Windows, Unix and Linux.  These Tasks can be placed within Projects as part of an overall series of business processes to perform.

System i Commands and Programs

GoAnywhere can call both System 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 to call a program on the System i to process those orders.
