How to Communicate with Programs running on AIX server Using LabVIEW.

[vilas]

We have an IBM AIX server on which some programs are running  which basically perform some scientific calculations. I am required to send the inputs to the calculation from a VI on windows system and get back the results  on the VI.  I do not have any idea on how to do this.
But i heard that there is a tool ( not developed in LabVIEW) developed by my customer which can communicate with the AIX server thro Java Classes.
So i tried exploring APPLETVIEW which supports java and LabVIEW but i am confused.

Is there any way to achive this interfacing between AIX and LABVIEW?.

Thanks

Hi Vilas,

How you may communicate with you AIX server may very greatly depending on what is running on your server.  Here is a link to another thread where Java calls and AppletView were discussed.  It contains a link to the company that makes AppletView, so it may have some good information for you. 

Also, if your customer suggested you use AppletView and they developed it, they would probably be your best bet for explaining it to you.

Hope this helps!
