I am not providing a user id. I just do a POST to the URL. Maybe it has something to do with this in the apache script. ScriptAlias /httptest /qsys.lib/httptest.lib/httpdata.pgm <Directory /qsys.lib/httptest.lib> SetEnv QIBM_CGI_LIBRARY_LIST "QTEMP;QGPL;YAJL;httptesta;httptestb" allow from all order allow,deny Options +ExecCGI +Includes SetOutputFilter Includes </Directory> -----Original Message----- From: WEB400 <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Don Brown via WEB400 Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2022 8:40 PM To: Web Enabling the IBM i(AS/400 and iSeries) <[email protected]> Cc: Don Brown <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WEB400] Apache config If you create a job description with the required library list, then assign that to the user profile you are using to connect to IBMi then when a connection is made that library list will be in effect. As an example create the job description, then change your user profile to use that job description, then log on and enter command dsplibl - you will see the libraries you specified in the job description in your library list. Now is this the best way to do it - it depends on what you want.

I am trying to run an Angular / javascript app in the browser that does an HTTP / Apache connection to get the data. The program that it is running (HTTPDATA) is a generic "SQL server" program that can take any SQL request and process it. As for the Angular / javascript part, it is unable to touch anything on the PC. Now to this response. You said that you never used those environment variables to set the libl yet that is what was in the link that you sent me for how to configure apache. I assumed that was what I needed to use. So to do it differently, you suggest a control file with a jobd or library list. Where is this control file stored? I'm guessing that it has to be on the IBM i somewhere because again, I can't access the PC with my app. For the jobd part of your response, I am not starting a job (maybe it is auto started behind the scenes when I connect) so how do I specify a jobd for a job that I am not submitting? I am really struggling to find good documentation and I know part of that is because I don't fully understand what I am trying to do and much of what I read does not make sense. When Brad provided the link for the apache configuration script file, I spent a ton of time trying to figure out where it was so I could edit it. I finally noticed that I can edit the config in the HTTPAdmin page. I still have not clue where it put the thing. Is there somewhere that I can get "step by step instructions for dummies" on the best way to do this stuff? -----Original Message----- From: WEB400 <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Brad Stone Sent: Sunday, October 23, 2022 3:56 PM To: Web Enabling the IBM i (AS/400 and iSeries) <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WEB400] Apache config I never used those environment variables to set the libl. I use my push and pop libl functions. Much more convenient and no stopping and starting the instance if it changes. A simple control file to point to a job description (heaven forbid those are used!) or just a simple library list file. Easily updatable for the next time the program runs.
