Our company has recently brought our Web site server in house. We wanted a way to pass data between the IIS Server and the AS/400. Our webmaster looked at ASP and SQL. He spent months working on the scripts and in the end it was slow and had intermittent problems.
I had done a little CGI for creating reports. What we decided on was using CGI to send data back to the IIS server. He submits an HTML GET and I return just a string of text. I use RPG to access the database so it is much faster than SQL.
Is anyone else using this method? It seems so simple and straight forward. Not very flashy or new, but very simple.
Thanks,
Alan
