remote batch job submission? (on NT)

» close window

The Question is:

 
Can you propose a method from VMS to submit a remote batch Job on an NT
server and return a signal to indicate it's completion status. I am trying
to do this without loading any additional software such as Pathorks onto the
NT server.
 
A prototype command file was created and tested to call Telnet to invoke a
function on a remote NT system.
 
This is the example batch command file used in the evaluation test :-
 
Connect warehouse
guest
test
test_ftp
quit
exit
 
This test failed with the following VMS error messages :-
 
%SYSTEM-W-NODEVAVL, no device available
%SMG-F-INVPAS-ID, invalid pasteboard-id
 
Can the TELNET CREATE_SESSION pseudodevice option be used to do this (NB. It
is not clear from the documentation and help files how you are expected to
use this option).
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The usual approach for distributed management of batch is the Visual
  Batch package, though the rexec or similar tool might be an alternative
  approach to use.
