Invoking Dos Commands through Datastage

[Lotus26]

Hi

I am Using Server Edition and My DataStage is Installed on Unix Box . But I want to execute some DOS Commands like from Datastage.
Is it Possible to do so like invoking the DOS Commands through DataStage ??

I would appreciate any help on this . Thanks.

In a sequence job there is a command activity stage. You can run commands through it the same as you would from a shell.

But My Files are on Windows Box. I wonder is this possible still like use the execcommand stage in Sequencer??

Maybe remote shell Or install samba, this way windoze will become transparent and you can see/execute files on windoze.

So through Datastage can I invoke Samba or remoteshell and that way I can execute the DOS Commands on the files which are on Windows box??

Thanks.

Yes. Search for "remote shell", it has been covered before.

The only way to run a DOS command is to clarify which PC you wish to use. Then, use remsh or ssh to run a remote command on a Windoze machine. This Unix program can be executed using a Command stage in a Sequence, which simply calls the DSExecute API. You can do the same within a Batch job or thru a custom function/routine.
