R: Web Services Question



Hi Elaina,

I'm using HTTPAPI to sends access log (all day long, for all users and
interactive jobs login and logout on as/400 systems) from many AS/400 (less
than 10 for now...but we'll increase) to central and unique web service on
windows o.s. developed with .NET, also we receive a reply from web service
and interpreter it; we are widely satisfied for his performances and
efficiency!

If I can help you somehow, you are welcome!

Best Regard Elaina

Luciano

Hi Elaina,

Why are you concerned about the most efficient way?  Are you having 
trouble with efficiency, if so, what are the symptoms?  Can you describe 
the problem in a little more detail?

Since we don't know anything about how the current program is 
implemented, it's awfully difficult for us to discuss efficiency!

Are you looking to understand the value of HTTPAPI vs. other web service 
related tools?   Or are you looking to understand the efficiency 
differences between SOAP and REST?  Or...  what are you looking for? 
Since we don't know what tool you're using now, it's hard to even guess 
if HTTPAPI will be faster or not?

It seems to me that if you're just connecting to a web service and 
sending a location/name, efficiency may not be your biggest issue? 
After all, how big can a location/filename be?   Or are you actually 
sending the complete file data?
