  • 1.  How to initiate/trigger an autosys job/box using SSIS package

    Posted Jun 05, 2017 08:54 AM

    Hi Team,

     

    I have below condition,

    There are 10 files at a location which are with different tags in file names like 'Sales','Production', 'Inventory', etc.

    Each tag has Autosys Job/box 

    Now I want to read file name and initiate the respective job

     

    For the above I created SSIS package and able to read the filename and identify the job for that file.

    But how do i trigger the Autosys job/step from SSIS

    so you want to scheduler the scheduler from another product? why? 

    since these are files why not have your autosys jobs waiting on the file then trigger off the file being there.. 

    This could be the most simplest of the many approaches.. 

     

    Hope that helps.

    I came up with the above approach but for this I need to have multiple file watcher for each box and has to be scheduled at particular time, her file arrival time is not fixed.

    If you have AE Client installed on the server where the SSIS package is executed, you may be able to use the Execute Process Task within SSIS to call sendevent CLI to perform a STARTJOB event. I'd go with Steve's suggestion to create file trigger/watcher to keep it all within AE.
