execute java -jar on the server

[Gavril]

Hi all,

I am wondering whether there is a possibility to execute a program on the server side using "Send Event" script step.

I was able to execute on the client computer, but deploying the executable to the server would be more economica.

The current script line looks like:

(after "Send Event["aevt"; "odoc";...)

"cmd /k" & ¶ &

"java -jar c:fm8_update_MySQl.jar " & test::text1

I would expect that some network mapping should be done on all clients (to point to a shared directory on the server). Is this feasible or are there better ideas?

Thank you, Gavril

The execution will always happen on the client, but the file itself can certainly be on a share somewhere. You don't need network mapping if you use the UNC syntax to the jar:

serverNameshareNamefm8_update_MySQl.jar

Make sure all users have execute rights on that share.
