BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Selecting a program type

The Program Type dialog box appears only when you publish program objects. For details about program objects and program object types, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide.

1. In the Program Type dialog box, select a program.
2. Choose one of the following program types:
• Binary/Batch

  Binary/batch programs are executables, such as binary files, batch files, or shell scripts. They generally have file extensions such as .com, .exe, .bat, or .sh. You can publish any executable program that can be run from the command line on the machine where the Program Job Server is running.

• Java

  You can publish any Java program to BusinessObjects Enterprise as a Java program object. They typically have a .jar file extension.

• Script

  Script program objects are JScript and VBScript scripts.

3. After you specify the type of program that you are adding, click Next.

The Program Credentials dialog box appears.
