Do both cron.allow and at.allow contain an entry for dsadm (or whatever your Engine credentials specify)? Note, too, that one-off executions may be handled by at rather than by cron.

When you run the job don't choose Run Now on the Scheduler tab. Choose either of the other two options. As to the second part of your question you will need to be more specific about what you mean by "send" - but typically you can grab results using the command line interface or the REST A...

This suggests either that APT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable has not been set in the project or, perhaps, that its default value has been given as the special value $PROJDEF in the job's parameters. The latter case is just something you have to live with.

Did you verify that DSOpenJob() worked correctly? The easiest way is to try to use the job handle for something innocuous, such as reporting the job name, then testing whether that returned an error code (typically DSJE_BADHANDLE).

A1. See answer from rkashyap. You have to have configured the network alias, so that either machine can be known by the same name.
