calling dsjob or similar command through web services

Post by amit.jaiswal_ATL »

Hello All,

I have read that "dsjob" and similar commands can be called using CLI or API, however, just wanted to understand if such commands can be called as a web services? If yes, can you please provide more details ?

Basically, we are looking to automate processes like job export, job import, creation of project, etc. Can we call such commands through web services ?

Thanks in advance!

Doesn't really help to simply repeat your original post word for word. :?

If you have access to the command line, you can "call" any of those that you wish. I would imagine you would want to script whatever you need done and then call the script rather than trying to do everything at an atomic level "through web services"... but perhaps that's just me.
