Invoke director from command line

Post by Harini »

Here is the command line syntax i used from the client machine.

cd C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\

director.exe /H=XXXX20:9080 /U=xxxx /P=xxxxx

Not showing any errors. But it is just opening the director tool and waiting for my inputs which i dont want. I want to see everything in CLI.

I am basically trying to check the dsjob commands to list the jobs currently running, and the jobs aborted etc.

The director program uses the GUI and is not a comand-line oriented program.

It sounds like "dsjob.exe" will do what you want, e.g. "dsjob -ljobs". For a full list of your options with dsjob.exe either call it with "dsjob -help" or see

Rather than generalizing like invoking director from command line, it's better if you specify what exactly you want to achieve. for example if you want to view the log, then you can look for the various options available in dsjob.

And as Arnd noted, you need to use dsjob for that and you use it directly, there's no need to include the Director in any command line scenario.
