Want to let applications or partners securely access your IBM i data or business logic?
APIs give you the flexibility you need to deliver your IBM i assets via web services to extend functionality and enhance user experience.
While there are several ways to build IBM i web services, one of our favorites is IBM’s Integrated Web Services (IWS).
Why IWS for APIs?
IWS provides key benefits for IBM i developers: First, it comes as part of the IBM i operating system, so you have nothing to buy or install. Second, you’ll use languages you already know to create your APIs. And third, you can get up and running with IWS in just a few hours—with the right guidance.
IWS for IBM i Online Workshop
See for yourself how quickly IWS lets you build APIs for your existing RPG programs and data. In this workshop, your team will work on your own IBM i as we guide you through how to:
- Set up your IWS server
- Secure it with IWS settings, TLS, and an API key
- Create some APIs using SQL
- Compile an RPG program to use with your APIs (source provided)
- Create and expose a service program (source provided)
At the end of your training you will have IWS set up on your IBM i and examples of working APIs to get you started, plus a complementary month of our famous Developer Support to give you fast and reliable answers to any questions that pop up.
Let’s kick start your ability to offer IBM i APIs and web services! Complete the adjacent form or call us at 201-447-2437 for details on our next workshop.
