IBM i Access for Windows Toolkit - Remote command

This Delphi 4 sample uses the IBM i Access for Windows automation objects to perform the following:

• Retrieve the list of IBM i systems which have previously been connected
• Specify a new IBM i system to access
• Retrieve information about an IBM i, such as the: IP address, host version and release levels, password expiration date, number of active connections, etc.
• Call an IBM i Access for Windows API to retrieve a list of user libraries on the system
• Call an IBM i API to retrieve a list of data queues in a library
• Create and delete libraries
• Create and delete data queues
• Query the attributes of data queues
• Send and receive data using data queues
• Convert strings and numeric data between host and PC formats
• Retrieve information about the IBM i Access for Windows code installed on the PC

• Download vbsallob.exe (EXE, 31.3KB)

This sample demonstrates how an application might use the IBM i Access for Windows Communication APIs related to System Objects. In this example, these APIs are used to create system objects and to set their attributes according to the security and performance requirements of various scenarios. The system objects are then used to run remote commands (using the Remote Command APIs and Service APIs) and to validate user IDs and passwords, and the behavior and some elapsed times can be observed by the user.
