Start a Program on a System

Use this dialog to specify a program to execute and the system on which the program is to be executed.

System Address
Specifies the system address on which the application program is executed. Enter the value in the following format:
  transport_type::address
where transport_type is the transport protocol used for communication between the target system and the %ProductServerName%, and address is the name used to identify the system for the specified protocol.

Valid values for transport_type are:

Valid values for address are:
TCPIP:
IP address or hostname (Example: 9.88.113.22 or myclient.mylocation.mycompany.com)
IPX:
Internetwork address (Example: A1:1005A9823411)
NETBIOS:
Network address or computer name (Example: HenrysBox). This name is specified in the Network Address field of the Network Driver Configuration dialog, when enabling the NetBIOS network driver.
Program Specification
Specifies the program file that is to be executed on the target system. When executing a program, the program specification may include the drive and directory information relative to the target system. An alternative to fully qualifying the program is to use a working directory.

System commands may also be specified, for example, "erase c:\logs\*.log". Note that in all cases, the target system's command processor is used to initiate each program or command.

Working Directory
Specifies the working directory used by the program. Specifying a working directory has the same effect as changing the current directory to a specified drive and directory before launching a program. This is especially helpful if the program being started needs to load other files or programs that are assumed to be in the same location.
