In this scenario, you replace the CD Server Submit Service with the CD Server Run Job Service in your business process. The business process copies a file to the Sterling Connect:Direct® server and then starts a Sterling Connect:Direct Run Job on that server.
About this task
The Run Job in this scenario is for a Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows SNODE. If your SNODE is not a Sterling Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows system, create a Run Job similar to the following example appropriate for your SNODE platform.

Configure the CD Server Run Job Service using the following procedure:
Double-click the CD Server Run Job Service icon. This opens the Service Editor window.
The Connect:Direct Server Run Job Service acts like a Run Job statement in a Sterling Connect:Direct process. Use this service to start a Sterling Connect:Direct Run Job on a remote Sterling Connect:Direct server.
In the Service Editor-CD Server Run Job Service window, select CDServerRunJob from the Config drop-down list.
In this step you specify the pre-defined CDServerRunJob configuration to use for the CD Server Run Job Service. You can override configuration values in the Service Editor.
Type pgm(path/filename) desktop(yes) as the Value for Sysopts, where path is the full directory path and filename is the file name of the program or script you wish to run in the Run Job.
Type //BeginSessionResults/SessionToken/node() as the Value for SessionToken and select the Use XPATH? box.
The SessionToken value in the CD Server Run Job Service ensures that this service starts the Sterling Connect:Direct Run Job using the session initiated by the CD Server Begin Session Service.
