Re: Extproc or ?

I see some problems in bypassing steps in the application. Are you sure that the program in server C does nothing except, maybe parse the output, and write it to server E? Are you sure that other parts in the application does not check the run status in SQL SIS in server B before they run?

Anyway, you can use Control-M to run jobs on server C or server D directly. If you are sure, you can write a shell script to run the package and run this from Control-M.
I think you need to run this from Control-M because there are usually other jobs in Control-M that waits for this job to finish.
