88 REST APIs for Direct DB2 Access

21st Aug 2019
Speaker: Tim Rowe, Business Architect Application Development & Systems Management for IBM i
Abstract: Rest APIs are key to the world these days. IBM i includes a REST services infrastructure and engine that greatly simplifies the ability to take an existing RPG or COBOL program (or SRVPGM) and create a running REST interface with a few simple clicks. Applications have been connecting to ILE apps for a while now. The latest support now also lets you directly access Db2 for i with a REST API. We will dive into this New support (via demos) to help you understand how to build Rest APIs with only SQL.

Relevant for IBM i environments.
