server vs local computer

ChetMeinzer
What is the difference... where
i have a local computer and a server connected by network

what is the difference between running this on my local computer?

C:\>"C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\22\stats.exe"  "\\covenas\decisionsupp
ort\Meinzer\production\spj\test.spj" -production -server inet:bhcsstat1:3022 -us
er program\meinzerc -password password

and running this from the server

"C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\StatisticsServer\22\statisticsb" -f "\\covenas\decisionsupport\Meinzer\Production\dashboarddatasets\test.sps" -i -type text -out \\covenas\decisionsupport\meinzer\bank.txt


obviously one difference is the lack of spj, but what i want to know is whether the first command uses server edition?  how else would it run the file on the server (the server does not have desktop version installed)?

Jon?

Thanks

Re: server vs local computer

Jon K Peck
If you run a production job remotely

"In the background on a server. The program runs in a separate session on a remote server. Your local computer does not have to remain on and does not have to remain connected to the remote server. You can disconnect and retrieve the results later. "

To run the production job remotely,

"You can run production jobs from a command line with the following switches:

-production [prompt|silent]. Start the application in production mode. The prompt and silent keywords specify whether to display the dialog box that prompts for runtime values if they are specified in the job. The prompt keyword is the default and shows the dialog box. The silent keyword suppresses the dialog box. If you use the silent keyword, you can define the runtime symbols with the -symbol switch. Otherwise, the default value is used. The -switchserver and -singleseat switches are ignored when using the -production switch.

-symbol <values>. List of symbol-value pairs used in the production job. Each symbol name starts with @. Values that contain spaces should be enclosed in quotes. Rules for including quotes or apostrophes in string literals may vary across operating systems, but enclosing a string that includes single quotes or apostrophes in double quotes usually works (for example,“'a quoted value'”). The symbols must be defined in the production job using the Runtime Values tab. See the topic Runtime values for more information.

-background. Run the production job in the background on a remote server. Your local computer does not have to remain on and does not have to remain connected to the remote server. You can disconnect and retrieve the results later. You must also include the -production switch and specify the server using the -server switch.

To run production jobs on a remote server, you also need to specify the server login information:

-server <inet:hostname:port> or -server <ssl:hostname:port>. The name or IP address and port number of the server. Windows only.

-user <name>. A valid user name. If a domain name is required, precede the user name with the domain name and a backslash (\). Windows only.

-password <password>. The user's password."

They both use the server version of the application. The production job connects to the server through your local client version of the application.
