Does anyone knows if there is a way to start a extern application using a job process session ? I had tried to use app_start() but it had not worked fine.

We are on Baan IV c4 SP10 PMC with UNIX.

regards,

Since you are running in batch mode there is not a client connection - so I do not think app_start would work. Is the app on the baan server? If so then maybe the run.prog would work. Not sure how else you could get it to work in batch mode.

I need to start an application on NT Server running a Baan session in batch mode.

If the app and baan are on the same server I would expect run.prog to work. Have you tried that?

The app is on the NT server and Baan is on UNIX/Soloris Server, so I do not think run.prog would work, maybe I have to do an UNIX script to execute the app on NT server.

Sorry about that I was thinking both were on the same server. I do not know of a easy way to do what you are talking about.

On our last mrp system we used files between the servers. Our MRP system would generate a file, ftp in to a server. The server had a job that would wake up every so often to process the file. We did this both ways, but since going to baan we no longer do this.

Sorry I am no help.

HI,

Try this: install samba server on unix and map unix box on the nt server. When the application on nt server has to start, have the jobmanager create a file on unix directory, the nt scheduler can than have a look a the semaphore file that is now created and start up the taks.
