I have asked this before and have always been referred to Professional Services. Apparently you have to get them to do the required changes to the LL server. I have not found any calls within the LL kernel that make external system calls.We did find a solution to the problem ...It is fairly easy for Livelink to talk to a web server using the socket library. We installed PERL on the local web server and added a CGI that performed the required system call. The PERL CGI takes any required arguments from the URL and puts the return code in the resulting HTML page. PERL was the simplest in our case, but any CGI implementation should work as well.I have enclosed some code that demonstrates how the URL is sent to the web server and the results scanned for the return code.

My understanding this is an area that can be approvedSo far I see the following possibilities- CORBA approach is the correct way but rather difficult to do ( see examples Livelink remote Cache)- dll can be used see Livelink Directory Service but is not documented- we have done it once using database stored procedures communicating with another application/Magnus
