You're talking about an environment where the DBMS is on the same Windows system as the system where the command is being executed. A couple days ago a colleague suggested to me that it would really be cool if we could start an MV process from anywhere on the network. Well, for about a year now mvExec has been available as freeware for just that purpose. It doesn't matter if your MV environment is Unidata, Universe, or any other platform, or which OS the DBMS is running on. You can move data to/from the DBMS, execute reports and return data to the local file system or pass data as input to some other Windows process, or move data amongst MV or non-MV environments. Use it to send or receive email, send/accept web service calls, update or query relational databases, or import/export data with Excel or any other tools.

If you already have mv.NET then download and enjoy this utility as you wish. If you don't have mv.NET you can obtain it from any reseller.
