My company has a 24/7 support center that monitors batch jobs. Management wants us to start using their scheduling product for WebFocus Jobs so everything will be consistent. I like the flexibility and functionality of Reportcaster and do not want to do away with it.
Anyone have any experience Scheduling a ReportCaster Job on another Business Integrated Scheduling product.

Hi Prairie,

It was nice to meet you at Summit!

I also like ReportCaster and we use it for our end user jobs. However, some of our production jobs use Maestro to call ReportCaster and I'm told it works nicely, though there's lots of coding on the Maestro side. So this means it can be done!

Well Nightowl..that sent me off in the right direction...and what I ended up using was the DSTRUN command. Now if all IBI Documention was as helpful and meaningful as what I found about this...life would be a lot easier.
