Welcome aboard. The command is dsjob - you can search DSXchange or the Server Job Developer's Guide (look for Command Line Interface) for examples of how to use it.

How is this a "workaround"? That is the answer. And searching the forums here for dsjob will reveal complete examples of job launching scripts. Granted, mostly UNIX scripts but not impossible to convert to batch files if you don't have anything like the MKS Toolkit installed.

Plus you'll either need a Sequence job or custom job control code to do the notification in the case of failure. The former would be easier to arrange with the Notification Activity stage or your launching script could do the same - assuming "prompt me" means "notify me".

You'll also need to explain what "running batch file from database" means, I for one prefer not to guess.

You need to learn how to drive dsjob which is why I provided the manual reference. This command can be asked to set its exit status to that of the job that was requested to be run.

Sorry, what? "Display success"?
