Socket trouble REXX on Shadowweb

[ElChe]

Hi.

I am trying to figure out how to use socket calls in REXX on a MVS Shadowweb application server. The socket calls are used to do a HTTPGET request to a different page on the same server.

After some time, I was able to do this in REXX, but now I have encountered a big problem. The script wont work anymore, and if I browse the server trace of Shadowweb, the server responds with "RESMGR DETECTED TERMINATION OF REMOTE USER SUPPORT TASK" and then quits the request.

Any help regarding this would be appreciated since there is little documentation available to sockethandling on the net.

Thanks

Does this MVS Shadowweb application actually run on MVS Z/OS?

Coding REXX Sockets in REXX on z/OS is pretty straight forward and documented in the Communications Server bookshelf - not the TSO REXX Reference.

So in terms of 'Socket Handling' I am assuming you are looking for the documentation pertaining to REXX socket handling on Z/OS - again that would be in the Communications Server Bookshelf

Here is the URL to the z/OS 1.4 Communications Shelf

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/F1A1BK33

Look at the z/OS V1R4.0 Communications Server IP API Guide,
Chapter 14 is about REXX

Elsewhere in this Bookshelf is additional information, etc..

Hope this helps. I do not know 'MVS Shadowweb', I work extensively with z/OS HTTP Server, WebSphere, CICS Integration etc..

Thanks a lot for the information you provided. I was looking for something like this (and have been for a long time)!

I'm unsure whether the application is "MVS Shadowweb", but it's a Shadowweb server running on a os/390 IBM mainframe. I'm not well versed in the mainframe-vocabulary ;-).

Again, thanks a lot!
