Calling webservices from within openVms/DCL/or Language

[Jason Hartley]

We have a legacy VMS system running our inhouse powerhouse system.

We will also have a .NET document management/workflow system sitting on a NT box somewhere on the LAN.

It's possible that when someone runs a powerhouse program we will want to (from the alpha/vms box) update the workflow .NET system via Webservices.

Can this be done? Is there a third party package or some new vms system services that allows this?

Many thanks in advance

Jason.

You can always use RSH or REXEC or SSH to execute programs (that update the workflow) on the NT.

many things are possible given enough time and money. e.g. the .Net client for VMS from MVP systems might be useful.

There are some people looking at using GSoap for this.

You could hook up a DCL command to run PHP, which is more than capable of running Web services.
