We have 24x7 inhouse already. I do not support it, but have a couple of questions about it.

1. JAL appears to have a timeout function. How does it know if a process is finished and if not timeout?
2. VBScript does not appear to have a function for timeout. We want to use VBScript and not JAL in our environment so we need a way to do this using VBScript. Could we build a stored procedure or something like it and use the JAL function to execute a timeout?

3. Do you have any suggestions on how we can make this work?

Do you mean the Wait function?
If yes, an alternative in VBScript is Sleep.

If no, than ywhat you you mean by the Timeout? Running a process with timeout?

To call a JAL method or even a script containing several lines dynamically you can use
JALScript.Execute, for example

Sub Main
JALScript.Execute "MessageBox ""Hello 1 from JAL""" & vbCrLf & _

"MessageBox ""Hello 2 from JAL"""
End Sub
