Hi everyone!

I'd like to know if it's possible to run a report caster scheduled job through command line.

We're planning to write a script that launches a report caster scheduled job when the conditions of loading sometables at our sqlserver environment are finished.

The script will check this conditions and if that query returns true we'd like to run a specific job. The problem is that I don't know what command line we have to use to tells the webfocus client to run this job.

I've read such dtsrun or dstrunnow commands but I don't know if those are appropriate for my requirements. Any idea to build this task by this or any other way will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

The DSTRUN should be appropriate for your requirement.

Would an ALERT do the trick?

I just posted this on another thread.

Here are 3 other ways to run jobs concurrently or on command.

First, set the jobs up in report caster, you may have to let them run once. Get their schedule id and create a master to the Report Caster table BOTSIT. When you are ready to run, update the NEXTRUNTIME field for the jobs and RC will submit them. It is a long story, but this is what we had to do when DSTRUN would not work in our new environment (confirmed bug with SOS using Kerberos in version 8.0.8).

If it works use set up the 4 jobs in report caster and use DSTRUN.

Create a script to run a job and in the script use edastart -f to run the programs. The advantage to this is that you can get all the messages that would normally go to the screen. -TYPE statements you may put in your code, output from -? &, records counts, etc.

You don't say what your environment is, we are Linux.
