: I created a session which uses the server2client() function to transfer a file from a unix server directory to a windows server directory. The session works perfectly. When I add the session to a job and activate it, it also works perfectly. However, when I start the job using rc.startjob, the session does
: start but never finishes and the file is not transfered.

: Any ideas why this is happening?
: Has anyone been successful at doing this?

You need an instance of BW running for anything in the ottdllbw to work. So when you are activating a job, there is an instance of BW running on your desktop. When doing a rc.startjob you will be using a job user and there is no BW client involved.

Here are a few solutions:
- Have a NT based machine kick off the job (similar to scheduling jobs on Baan in a NT server).
- Mount the NT directory as an NFS drive on Unix server. Then the NT directory will be visible as a local directory on the Unix machine.
- Install Samba on the unix box. NT server can then see the Unix box in its network neighborhood.
- Run an FTP service on the NT box and 'put' the file on that server using a shell script which you can launch in your Baan script.

Apart from having problems using ottdllbw functions, there is a problem of using Barcode printing with BWPrint in jobs. Anyone solve this one?
