System Object Access (SOA) APIs

System Object Access enables you to view and manipulate system objects through a graphical user interface.

System Object Access application programming interfaces (APIs) provide direct access to object attributes. For example, to obtain the number of copies for a given spool file, you can call a series of SOA APIs, and change the value as needed.

System Object Access APIs for required files:

Interface definition file Import library Dynamic Link Library
cwbsoapi.h cwbapi.lib cwbsoapi.dll

Programmer's Toolkit:

The Programmer's Toolkit provides System Object Access documentation, access to the cwbsoapi.h header file, and links to sample programs. To access this information, open the Programmer's Toolkit and select IBM® i Operations > C/C++ APIs.
