can .bat windows file can be configured on control-M

Question

I have the java program which will be triggered from windows .bat file (having call to java program and requires JRE 1.6 on the client machine(calling machine) to run the java program.

Is that possible to configure this job on control-M? I am not sure how the control- M configuration of a job will be done, hence wanted to know if we will be able to install JRE 1.6 or above on the Control-M machine and is possible to run the .bat file from control-M.

Answer 1

Yes, It's possible to run a bat from Control-M and get the return code to stablish the ending state of the Job.

Complete information about how it works in the BMC Control-M Manual: http://www.scheduler-usage.com/document/Version/630/Books/MAW620300AG52365.pdf

JRE Must be installed in the machine before to work with good performance and with a correct environment.

You probably can check if JRE 1.6 is installed in the bat and install it but it's a complicated process with probably thirdparty tools and use of silent JRE install. Not recommended, it's better to have JRE installed as requirement to run the job.
