Hi,

This subject makes reference to this one: http://www.softtreetech.com/cgi_bin/config.cgi?read=7251
I use the job from template "Copy entire job database including settings to remote 24x7 scheduler" and it works very well. I make jobs on PC1 and update the PC2 by this job.
Is it possible to activate a job only when it is on PC2 (by the pc name, etc...) ? Because when I build a new job on PC1, the other jobs also work and start while this base (on PC1) serves me only as construction. And if I deactivate the works during the sending those this are also deactivated on PC2.

Thanks for your help.

What you can do is converting that job to a script type job (JAL or VBScript) and making it to check on the start up name of the computer running the job. For example, in case if the name isn't PC1 then simply abort the job, otherwise run the required processing.

Here is an example JAL script (similar thing can be done in VBScript)

// check PC name, exit if not PC1
Dim run_it, boolean
IsEqual "PC1", "@V"computer"", run_it
IfThen run_it, RUN_JOB
// if we are here then computer name is not PC1... abort the job
Exit

RUN_JOB:
// run the actual job
Dim process_id, number
RunAndWait "c:\\programs\\some_batch.bat", "", 0, process_id

Thank you very much, your JAL script works very well and now the jobs run only when they are executed on PC2 !
