I found resolutions to this problem. Here's what I did. I found a document at the IBM site titled "How to run a PHANTOM via the Windows Scheduler and suppress the display of a DOS Shell Window and Taskbar entry". [phew!] The net result is I create two scripts: UD_Startup.bat 001 cd /d E:\DataTrust\Dta 002 E:\IBM\ud71\bin\udt PHANTOM RUN DTABP DTA.SERVICE 003 exit UD_Startup.vbs 001 Dim SleepTime 002 ' 003 ' Pause for 30 seconds to allow UniData to start up. 004 SleepTime=1000*30 005 WScript.Sleep SleepTime 006 ' 007 ' Start batch file that runs at UniData startup 008 Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 009 WshShell.run "%comspec% /c E:\Scripts\UD_Startup.bat",0 010 Set WshShell = Nothing
Then I create an entry in the Scheduled Tasks to run the .vbs script when the machine starts. I use the user with the appropriate administrator privileges to access UniData, and now everything I need to start in UD I let DTA.SERVICE start it.
