Hi,

I wanted to know the various methods in which WTX maps can be invoked. The method that I'm aware of is to make a call from the desktop launcher/CMD prompt to a .exe file on the server. Are there any other ways that WTX maps could be invoked?

I do apologize in advance if this question has been asked before.

Regards,

Hi Emmanuel,

First off, thank you so much for taking time out to respond to my query!

I noticed you mentioned the possibility of invoking WTX maps using Java/C API. This is an area I am trying any find out about in detail, are there any sources or documents I could refer to, to understand more about how APIs invoke WTX maps? Are there any specific threads or forums in this community that you  may be aware of?

I am looking for this information to see if my team could leverage APIs as an alternative to the "request to the .exe" method we use right now. If I understand correctly, placing a call to the executable file passes control to it and the calling agent  has to wait till it regains control. Please correct me if I am wrong, wouldn't the use of APIs in this  scenario provide flexible processing using multi-threading features?

Hi ,

I think you can have a look to this doc link

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSVSD8_8.4.1/com.ibm.websphere.dtx.platapi.doc/topics/g_platform_api_Using_the_Platform_API.htm

I also found the following example :

"This WebSphere Support Technical Exchange is designed to cover running the basic Java API examples from the Eclipse based GUI. It is aimed at users who wish to run the Java API examples, but prefer not to resort to the command line Java compiler and instead have an integrated WTX and Java development environment. "

Hope that helps .
