The application will also create an audit trail of who updated the table and when, In AS400 ‘This example used is a product master file located in the AS400 database called Product. Here we have a physical file by the name of Product located in the library named RAYALS, CaaS Te Ivis set up as follows according to the Data Description Specification (ODS) of a physical file in iSeries, where NAME is the name of the product (character of size 30), DESCRP (size 100) is the description, followed by PRICE (size 15) and QTY (quantity of size 10).In Visual Studio 2012 We create @ new project. selecting ASP.NET MVC 4 Web application in Visual Studio 2012. seit Bi] ssracrempn weed Vinnice pe §& [RSDNIET Dymamic Dats Entities Web Application Vieustco G Following that, we name it as SampleProductInterface in the location specified.

We click on the PRODUCT table on the left pane (server explorer) and drag it to the ProductDataSet.xsd file on the right. This will create an instance of the table in the xsd.aes 5Q. Fill,GetData 0 Model Setup In the Models folder, we then create a class of ProductsMaster that is responsible for entering data from the web UI to the 'AS400 table Product. Every time a new product is added to the AS400 table, we have an audit trail of who did it and when, Hide Copy Code CRUD Creation with Mvcscaffolding We go to the package manager console and call the command Mvcscaf folding to create the relevant CRUD features for the ProductMaster class.

PHD all the following command in the Package Console Manager prompt to create the necessary CRUD views for the ProductMaster classin the Views/ProductMasters folder.Scaffold Controller ProductMaster -Repository -Force. der and Class Creating DAL Fo! Create a DAL folder in the project as follows.

Quantity; dds . PRODUCT .AddPRODUCTRow( product Row); try { //insert into as4ee table ‘ta.Update(ds.PRODUCT) ; catch (Exception ex) {‘throw new ApplicationException("Failed to insert Row into PRODUCT File", ex); y In the above code, the WriteToProduct() methad is the main process used to write to the AS400 file. The constructor sets the login credentials for the AS4OO server, with Host, Library, Username and Password, The WriteToProduct() method will ‘then connect to the AS400 using the connection string derived from the credentials initiated in the constructor and write to the dataset (ProductDataSet) from the product master fle (ProductMas ter). The table adapter (PRODUCTTableAdapter) will then execute an insert statement to get the dataset values and write to the PRODUCT table in AS400. Modifying Controller Methoc Inthe controller, the Create method should look like this: [nttpPost] public ActionResult Create(ProductMaster productnaster) t UnitOFWork Uow = new Uni tOFWOrk(); Sf (Modelstete. IsValid) { //call uow to insert into AS408 vow hniteToProduct (productnaster); productnaster.Usernane = Environnent.UserNane; productnaster Datetntered = DateTine. Now; productnasterfepository..InsertOrUpdate(productnaster); productnasterRepository.Save() return RedirectTokction( "Index" ); p else { return View(); > y Inthe above code, we are caling the UnitOfWork method WriteToProduct() which will write to the AS400 table. Then prior to updating the SQL server table ProductMaster, we ensure that the Username and DateEntered fields are populated by assigning the current Windows username and current time (DateT ime. NOW) to ther respective values. So in this instance, we willbe populating 2 tables, one in the AS400 via the method Wr'iteToProduct() and the other using the controller Editt_ method productmasterRepository.InsertOrUpdate (productmaster) and productmasterRepository.Save() Nodifying the cshtml View In the_Layoutcshtmt file (located in Views/Shared), we will also add an extralline to enable access to the Indexshtm page for updating the ProductMaster table, The extra line (third line) shown below is where the ActionLink for ProductMasters will pint to the Indexcshim! page when the tab labelled ‘Products Update’ is selected
