Please let me know whether I can invoke a remote shell (or a Java program) from a DataStage job.For example,I have my DS server in system A and I need to invoke a process in system B (remote).

Yes, subject to all the caveats associated with rsh from wherever it's invoked.

Thanks for the reply.
Can you please let me know how to invoke 'rsh' in a DataStage job.

Similar to how you invoke other shell commands.

From a before-job or after-job subroutine by using ExecSH or ExecSHSilent as the routine.
From an Execute Command activity in a job sequence.
Depending upon what the remote shell has to do, from a Wrapped stage in a parallel job, or maybe an External Source, External Target or External Filter stage.
Without knowing what the remote shell does, and in particular whether you want to process rows with it, it's very difficult to advise.
