hey All,

I have a tricky requirement and I am not even certain if its possible.

We have two servers (one has 8.7 version and the other has 11.3)

I want to run a dsjob command on the 8.7 version server but i want to connect to the 11.3 server.

dsjob syntax i am using right now on the 8.7 version server :

dsjob -domain <11.3 domain name> -user <11.3 user > -password <11.3 password> -server <11.3 full server name > -ljobs <projectname>


The same command works on 11.3 server without any issues. But on 8.7 i am getting DSJE_DOMAINLOGTOFAILED failure.

let me know what you all think.

you should simply SSH over to the box and execute that command over on the 11.3 engine tier.

Or perhaps leverage rsh for that.

Setup ssh with authentication keys so you don't have to enter credentials between the two servers. (Note: check to insure that it is permitted by security guidelines).

Then you can use ssh to seamlessly execute dsjob command on the other server from the command line.
