A Magic xpa Program Request to the IBM i Server from the Windows Client (Magic xpa 3.x)

The Call Remote operation lets you call a remote service from a Magic xpa program. The return status of the Call Remote command can be used to receive the Request ID sent to the Magic Request Broker, or for an error message.

The calling program can pass parameters to the remote service and can receive values from it. The Call Remote command can be executed in a synchronous mode or asynchronous mode.

Note that in the special case where the remote service runs on the same system as the calling application, the Call Remote operation allows requests among Magic xpa applications. The Call Remote operation defines the service, program, arguments, and parameters that can be executed. Zoom from the Call Remote line to access the Call Remote dialog box and define the parameters required for remote execution.
