    We have a need to invoke some existing VB executables running on a Windows box from PFI running on an AIX box.  What's the best way to accomplish this?

    One possibility: I can create a Windows .bat file to invoke the executable, but how do I connect to the Windows box and invoke the .bat file from PFI running on AIX?

      Can this be triggered with a web call? If so, you should be able use the WebRun node to call the URL to trigger this.

        No. These are not published to a web server, just native .exe's on a Windows box.

          You would need some way to trigger the batch file on the Windows server.  Typically, this would either be done via a webpage  or perhaps an SMNP trap.
