Hi,
as far as I know you can't. You can start Jobs from the commandline of the server with dsjob (telnet from the client to the server and start there your job).
You may write a commandline tool yourself using DataStage-API with VB or another programm you like and then you may start also Jobs from the clients commandline (client then is somebody running the Client programms of DataStage on his/her PC)

As of 7.5 you can call dsjob -run from a windows client to start a job on any connectable server.

Shri,
assuming you did a default client install, the directory C:\Program Files\Ascential\DataStage7.5 wiill have a dsjob.exe. Go into a command window and call this up without parameters and you will see your options; in addition the documentation describes this in detail (see 19/132 ff. in the Server Job Developer's guide)

To keep things simple, as your Server is also in Windows, you can (if possible and allowed) try to map the remote drive and run a dsjob from there.
If you are using V7.5, you can run the dsjob available in your Client DataStage directory as mentioned by ArndW.
