Sending a message to all users
I want to use CL to send a message to all users in a department. The tricky part is, I want it to break in all of their (Client Access) sessions, and not just the one the message queue is tied to. Any ideas?
If you know the list of users, you can use the API QUSLJOB. This API will list all of the jobs in the system. You can also specify the type and status of the jobs you want to retrieve. Once you have the list, send messages to each workstation (Job name) for the list of users you want to notify. If you search for QUSLJOB, there should be at least four or five posts in the "Ask the Experts" area giving details of this API and how to use it.

Open-list API provides crucial information on activation groups -- part 2
One of the many Open List APIs gives programs the ability to determine which activation groups are active in the job and allows the program to retrieve the activation groups' attributes. It can also provide the same information on activation groups in another job. This information can be crucial to programs that, for example, are designed to end other activation groups or are multi-threaded.
In part 1, we discussed what the Open List of Activation Group Attributes (QWVOLAGP) API does and what information the API can return to your program. Now, let's look at how you go about using the API.
