You can schedule and run DSA jobs from Crontab. However, you must first create a script with specific information and create a Crontab entry.
  1. In your own directory, create a new script with the following information. Make sure the permission of this script is 755: # chmod script 755:
    #!/bin/bash 
     
    # This will identify where BARCmdline is installed
    # If non-TMSB it will also contain the path to JAVA
    source /etc/profile.d/barcmdline-profile.sh
     
    # These will identify where JAVA is on TMSB Servers
    if [ -f /etc/profile.d/teradata-jdk8.sh ]; then
        source /etc/profile.d/teradata-jdk8.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
    fi
    if [ -f /etc/profile.d/teradata-jre8.sh ]; then
        source /etc/profile.d/teradata-jre8.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
    fi
     
    # Here specify the specific job you want to run
    dsc run_job -n <job_name>
  2. Edit Crontab:
    # crontab -e
  3. Use Crontab syntax to create an entry at the beginning of the Crontab script.
  4. In the Cron entry, run the script you just created.
