Hi,

Does anyone use ActiveBatch(Enterprise job scheduler) to schedule and run their WebFocus jobs?

Please let me know.

Thanks
Jim

We don't use ActiveBatch so I'm not that familiar with it (all of our schedules are handled through ReportCaster) I'm assuming it's just a tool to schedule execution of certain programs or bat files. If that is true, you could create a batch job that contains something like

c:/ibi/srv71/wfs/bin/edastart –x “EX runjob DEST=10.10.10.10, VAR1=ENGLAND"

The -x parameter when starting edastart means start a server instance, execute the indicated fex, and then shut down. In this statement, you tell it the name of the fex and values of any parameters to be used. If this is just creating files, etc. it would work. If you're needing output files like PDf or Excel, you would need some external way to retrieve them for display/print after they are created.

As I mentioned, RC handles all of this nicely - the drawback is the $$$.


Regards,

Darin
