IBM i CL program to start Mapepire server mode for faster Code for IBM i connectivity

README.md

This CL program is helpful to start the Mapepire server mode job on an IBM i host for faster Code for IBM i connectivity.

Update these values for your environment:

• &PATH: Set this to the folder where your mapepire-server JAR is stored.
• &MAPEPIRE: Set this to the exact JAR filename/version you installed.

Note that in your VSCODE "Connection Settings" (right click on an existing IBM i Connection and choose "Connection Settings"), you will need to check the "Connect to remote Mapepire Server and confirm the port (the default port is 8076).
