How to execute an exe, dll or a batch file

[aluthra48]

Can anyone say how one can execute an exe or a dll or a batch file in a DS job? And what if the exe is on another server? Can one execute it?

Thanks

If you can execute it from command line, you can certainly call it from a DataStage job using before/after job subroutine or command stage.
What have you tried so far?

Well... you don't execute a dll. And the others in several ways: DSExecute in a routine, ExecSH before/after job or Execute Command stage in a Sequence job.

No, I haven't checked it out, and I will. Can one specify a different server name in the path in the Execute command stage?

The exe is to be generated from a vb script

No, that requires the use of some kind of "remote shell" capability outside of DataStage. You could script that, however, and then let DataStage execute the script.
