Dsquestion,

no, you cannot. All jobs are executed exclusively on the DataStage server machine.

There are ways you can make a UNIX server execute a .BAT script on a windows machine, but they are outside of the scope of the DataStage product.

I recommend you google:

Code: Select all

rsh
rlogin
remsh
rcopy

Any server can run commands on a remote server using the above mentioned programs. NT can run stuff on Unix and vice versa.

Hi,
Thanks for the comments.Is it possible in Datastage Enterprise Edition?
If so can you please guide me.

Sequencers, before/after routines, Batch jobs, and just plain old shell scripts can run Unix operating system commands. DataStage has nothing to do with it.
