INTERACTIVE Statement—Specify Whether to Run a Windows Job in Interactive Mode

The INTERACTIVE statement specifies whether to submit a Windows job in interactive mode or in batch mode. Interactive mode lets users view and interact with jobs that invoke Windows Terminal Services or user interface processes. For example, you can define a job to open a GUI application, such as Notepad, on the Windows desktop.

Note: If the agent administrator sets the oscomponent.interactive parameter to true in the agentparm.txt file, the agent submits all Windows jobs in interactive mode, regardless of the INTERACTIVE statement.

Supported Job Type

This statement is optional for the Windows job type.

Syntax

This statement has the following format:

INTERACTIVE YES|NO

YES

Runs the Windows job in interactive mode.

NO

Runs the Windows job in batch mode. This is the default unless the oscomponent.interactive parameter is set to true in the agent's agentparm.txt file.
