Hi,
Is it possible to run a job from an external program like calling a job from Java or from a webpage?

Thanks,

Yes it is. You end up making a "system call" to invoke the "dsjob" command, or you can construct your own using the DataStage API.

Yes, it is very much possible. using dsjob -run command.

Below are the possible options, where you can use "dsjob -run" command

1. You can invoke your Job2, in the Before/After Job Subroutine. ExecSH and write it.

2. Use can write script (Perl/Unix/Java) and make a system call.
