running jobs from the command prompt?

Hi all,

Do you know what DS Software packages does a client computer need to have installed in order to perform just a simple execution of a compiled job?

Could I just install DS Director? is that possible? Do I need a different license just to run a job?

There is a way to perform a job execution from the Command Prompt (from a Windows client or from the Windows Server) without having installed any DS software? I mean, is possible to make an .exe file or something like to that to run jobs?

Thank you very much in advance ....

Kind Regards

Hi and Welcome Aboard :D
This forum has nearly 20K topics. If you search you can find a lot of information related to your queries. Infact more that you need.
Pls do a search of dsjob a command though which you can call the ds jobs. Also pls go though the given doumentaion to know about the compilation and execution process.
As in all software, the code you design in the designer need to be compiled to get the code ready for execution and which can be executed.
Pls go though the Installaion and Upgrade documentaion to know about the requirement of the client.

With DataStage you can install a "run only" client license. This has "-DSDIR" as the last part of its authorization code, rather than "-DSDES".

OK, thank you both for your responses
