Opps, I guess I got your question backwards.

Can you tell us what the bat job does or why you need to call the transaction? It may help us help you find the best solution.

The batch file is a script from ip21.

When you say MS DOS, do you mean MS DOS on Windows or MS DOS alone?

I'm referring the ms dos of the Windows!

You can almost certainly use the Windows Scripting Host (WSH), launched from an MS DOS task, to run a Javascript of VBScript script that can do URL calls and much more.

[former_member202228]

Make your URL to the transaction using servlets (content generation wizard, select Hyperlink), try it with your current browser to see the results, and then access it with a DOS browser when needed. You might need auto authentication for MII, which can be given as command line parameters (there were some posts on this in the forums).

Example DOS Browser Link: http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/lynxport.htm

You can run the transaction with "lynx xMII_URL" from C, Pascal, etc using system(), exec() or using any batch scripting command you may have available on your DOS environment.

Wrap something like this: [http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t53333.html|http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t53333.html]

in a custom action.

In my opinion Its kinda not a good security practice though.
