How to integrate jobs created in cognos datamanger with JAVA or vice-versa?

I am looking to integrate jobs created in Data Manager with Java.
I want to execute a job from java application and vice-versa.

Thanks in advance.

Data Manager jobs can be executed from the command line - if you right-click a job and choose "Execute", you can see/capture the command (just make sure you omit the -P switch which triggers the "press return to continue" pause at the end of the job). You could then get your Java routine to fire off this command.

From within a jobstream, you can use the system() function to call an executable from the command line (from within a procedure node, for example) if your java routine is compiled into an executable you can call, and/or you could add a User Defined Function to call a java function compiled and linked into a dll, then call this function from a procedure node.

Hi MF,
I tried to use procedure node. But it wasnt running. Could you please suggest how to call a .bat file using system() in procedure node.

Thanks,

Hi,

System('"C:\Cognos Demos\DataManager\Test.bat"');

This worked fine for me.

Thanks MF,
Its working now. I didnt use double quotes ('c:/.../google.bat'). Thats why it was not running.

Hi MF,
Could you please suggest how to open a URL when the job runs on a server (Linux). I mean job has to open a URL whenever it runs. In windows I created batch file and then I called this batch file by using procedure node. How about in Linux?

Thanks,

Could you create a shell script in unix to do it, then call it in the same way as your windows batch file?

Why are you using xdg-open? What are you trying to do exactly?

My requirement is to open an URL once after executing a job in Data Manager.

Hi MF,
While I tried to execute that script it was saying "$ command not found".

Do you mean you want to launch a browser window? Or do you just want to pass some variables to a webserver via HTTP GET or something?

If you want to read something from a website you could use the wget command.

I want to launch a browser window. Suppose lets say browser has to open and load with http://www.google.com. And I am using following script. But while I execute on server it was throwing error.

#!/bin/bash
$ open http://www.google.com

Could you please guide me.

This should let you launch firefox from the command line, just pass this into your System() call:

/usr/bin/firefox www.google.com &
