RE: Programs for Trying to get program name from First Data company
Austin,
Do you understand what you are doing with these programs? You seem to have an advanced knowledge of programming but are using some terms in an unusual way. It makes it hard to know where to go to help you.
It would appear that you are trying to consume some type of web service related to payment processing. This is easily done with HTTPAPI but the starting point is usually a document from the provider called a WSDL. There is no need to write the socket programs like you have done - the heavy lifting is done for you in HTTPAPI and you can concentrate on the meat and potatoes. Also HTTPAPI has debugging built in so that you can see what kind of errors are occurring.
Suggestions:
1. Stop writing your own sockets program for web services.
2. Download and install HTTPAPI with Expat.
3. Run the example programs in HTTPAPI to get familiar with how it works and begin to understand web services.
4. Get the WSDL from the provider.
5. Install SOAPUI and use the WSDL provided to decipher the XML (although it looks like you might already have that).
6. Copy the XML from SOAPUI and put into the correct example code for HTTPAPI.
7. Compile and run. Look at debugging information.
You can all this in about 4-5 hours and will be miles ahead for future web services functions on the IBM i.
The URI you were provided that ends in SD "appears" to be bad. Maybe it is not used to get the web services? My guess is that the secure.linkpt.net URI is the actual one used. You will probably do a POST to that URL with the XML and it will return the XML you see in the PC tool.
HTTPAPI is the way to go on the IBMi. If this is what you trying to do http://www.firstdata.com/downloads/marketing-merchant/fdgg-web-service-api-v1.3.2.pdf , it appears you will need a client certificate to connect. This could be the problem you are experiencing with the socket program. There is information in the mailing list archives about client certificates and associating them with your program.
Good luck.
Mike
