Basic steps as follows

1. Create a batch ID
2. create a wrapper program to run batch processor with logon using input re-directed from keyboard to a file
3. Attach to wrapper program to the cron job (unix ) job scheduler (NT).
4. Run MRP with batch ID.

You can refer to the detailed setup procedure in administrion section of Mfg/Pro user guide.

Good luck

Hi, an example of what I'm doing for that:

- Create a Batch ID
- Create a Batch file to make a session in CHR mode with the following (paths depending on your installation) :
"C:\Progress\dlc91c\bin\_progres.exe" -b -pf \\IASBCNSRV06\MFGCONFIG\ProductionLocal.pf -ininame \\IASBCNSRV06\MFGCONFIG\production.CHR < E:\Batch_Delfor\mrp\mrp.txt > E:\Batch_Delfor\mrp\output.txt

Where mrp.txt contains
"(username)" "(password)"
"mgbatch.p"
"(batchname)"
.
.
"S"

I use that to run the mrmpup.p Regenerate Material Plan (23.2) in eB.

Hope that helps
Jordi
