GOAL:
Why Fathom Jobs may not run against a remote database.
GOAL:
Rules for creating Fathom Jobs for remote databases.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge Management
FIX:
The definition of a Remote Database is not well defined in the Fathom Manuals.
As far as Fathom jobs are concerned a 'remote database' is one that is not managed by AdminServer.
A 'remote database', is monitored with OpenEdge Management by using a remote database agent and the Database Connection Adapter, and resides on the same machine as Fathom.
This is a slightly different definition than a "monitored remote database", which does not have to be on the same host as Fathom.
Rules to follow when creating Fathom jobs for a remote database.
1. A Job must be created using Fathom Jobs/Create Job
2. The database that job is to be run against must be on the same machine that Fathom was installed on.
3. Database must be configured in Fathom as a remote database.
There is currently (OEM 3.1C) no remote jobs functionality in the product for "monitored remote databases". There is however a published workaround in common use on PSDN. The usual caveats apply and it is not officially supported by the product.

Remote Shell Support from Windows to UNIX
perl_rsh.zip
The "Remote Shell Support from Windows to UNIX" is a Fathom job template that allows your Windows based Fathom install to run Remote Shell jobs (rsh) to UNIX systems. This is accomplished with a Perl script and a Fathom job template. Merely follow the instructions in the readme.txt and you will be creating jobs for a Windows based Fathom install to run on UNIX systems.
