All,
FYI - I was able to use QSYS2.IFS_READ table function to read data from IFS file.

Another related question: The objective here is to send a payload (JSON/XML) from an IFS path (file is in .txt format) to an external API using http_url_post - for which trying to get the full payload into a string. But can we directly send the IFS file to external API, using http_url_post or a diff...

Additionally, the IFS file is with ".txt" extension. Sample data in IFS file: {"purchaseOrder":[{"poNumber":99999909,"branch":444,"shipVia":"","requisitionBy":" ","dateToRcv":"2025-04-24","poDeta...

Hi, Would like to check on this below scenario, please assist. Thanks! Trying to read a JSON payload from an IFS file to a string. But ContentLength comes as 0. Any thoughts on what am I missing?

Thanks!

Now I would like to send this string (which consists of JSON payload to be sent out) to outside world (URL endpoint) and save it in a file in IFS. Which YAJL API is more effective to do this transfer? Please suggest.

Thanks!

After doing some testing, would like to know if there is a way to copy the string (outbuf = payload received) into buffer or sending the string directly to target is the only way? Please advise.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response Scott. Mentioned only outbound, because Inbound code already was working for a different project. From the payload received from inbound, trying to create same new payload to send to outbound. Have not tested the outbound yet and planning to do it today. Would like to know i...
