Executing Jobs

There are a number of ways to execute a job:

·	From within a USoft application.

·	From the BatchRunner component.

·	From USoft Binder.

·	By the use of a batch file or command line on a client computer.

·	By the use of a batch file or command line on the server.

All methods allow you to read the job definitions from the repository, or from a job definition file. In general, as an application developer you create and test jobs using the repository, but your end users can only execute jobs read from a job definition file.

Therefore, in a production environment, you have to distribute this job definition file, preferably together with other flat files.

NOTE:

It is possible to start batch jobs from within the user application, even when you have set separate properties for repository and applications in the Binder.
