Can I run a job in Production/Batch Mode (in the background) in SPSS Statistics 21 Desktop Version?

[Jorge Vulej]

Dear colleagues,

Jon confirmed that it is possible to run SPSS desktop in production/batch
mode.

Which "switches" I need to use to run the syntax in the batch (background
process) and get an output file and log file in my SPSS Statistics 21
desktop version?

My basic line in the run command is copied below. It only opens the SPSS
Interactive system and loads the syntax.

C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\21\stats -nologo -production
-singleseat -f
'C:\Users\ivulej\Modeling\Syntax\GenericCode_In_SPSS_loops_FINAL.sps'

Thank you,

Jorge

To create a production job, use the Production Facility from the Utilities
menu to define an .spj file. You then refer to that file on the command
line.  Help will walk you through all the details. Your command line will
look something like this:

stats \production_jobs\prodjob1.spj -production silent -symbol @datafile
/data/July_data.sav

where -production is production mode
silent turns of all output to the screen
-symbol defines any runtime parameter name and value pairs

Contents within the spj file direct results to output files.
