Whilst it is possible using the EXEC function to call the same executable and switches as when you schedule a job it isn’t often the best thing to do.

If you have a number of smaller jobs consider wrapping them inside a workflow and controlling the execution that way, otherwise use an external scheduling tool that allows greater flexibility than the basic DI or BOE one.

Well the exec command syntax can be found in the technical manual.

If you mean what you need to put in there to get a job to run, then if you generate an Execution Command File from the BODI Web Administrator you will see exactly the syntax you need for the job launcher, its rather long and indiviudal to the installation.

I would warn though that if you didn’t know the above already then you really shouldn’t be attempting to do this as its not really ‘standard’ BODI.
