The ESNDDTAQ command has 3 parameters:

  • Key: A unique key defined by user. Each Window client should have a unique key for it to differentiate with other clients. This value can be user ID of that machine or PC ID
  • Data: This field contains the IFS qualified path of PDF file that server wants to open on client machine
  • Data Queue: The data queue is used to communicate between server and client. This data queue is monitored by client programs.

The client executable, ifdclient.bat is used to execute a jar file. The following parameters are employed:

  • ifdclient.server: required. This is IBM I host name
  • ifdclient.logonuser: required. User ID is used to connect to IBM i
  • ifdclient.logonpassword: required. Password of logon user
  • ifdclient.user: required. This is the key of client. It can be certain value but should be unique among other clients.
  • ifdclient.pdfreaderdir: optional. The path to directory of PDF reader. If it’s not passed, the program will look up it against the program name in pdfreadername
  • ifdclient.pdfreadername: optional. By default, it’s AcroRd32.exe
  • ifdclient.multifiles: yes/no. By default, it’s yes. If this parameter is yes, then many PDF reader instances can be opened as soon as new entry is sent to data queue. If it’s no, then only one PDF reader instance can be opened at a time, and if there is new entry in data queue, it will be waited until user close the PDF reader window on client machine, the next entry will be processed.
