Run jobs from a Command Line in Windows Env

Hi,

In a Unix Env we used to run the Datastage jobs from a Shell Script using the dsjob command. The Paramater and Enviroment dependant values would be passed to the jobs from other shell scripts at runtime

My question is, how can we run the jobs in a Windows Environment from the command line..using a Batch file?
What is the use of a Batch job?

Thanks,
NV

Thanks..

Any info on Batch Jobs?

Also we dont have a scheduler here where in the past I have worked with Autosys..So how to we schedule jobs in a Windows environment?

What kind of "info" are you looking for? Batch files would be the Windows equivalent to UNIX scripts, batch jobs are something else entirely... basically they are hand-coded job control opportunities written in BASIC and the API much like a Server routine.

If you don't have an Enterprise scheduler, you can always use the Director.
