SUMMARY:
This technote describes a current limitation with System Manager with 3rd party automation tools such as AutoSys. If using a tool such as Autosys to execute a System Manager workflow via Command Line using a batch file, a second Command Line window may need to be launched violating certain Group Policies and resulting in an error. This is a known limitation in System Manager. There is currently an Enhancement Request to have System Manager operate like Command Manager in these circumstances.
SYMPTOM:
When using a 3rd party tool such as AutoSys to automate the launching of a System Manager Workflow, Administrators maybe met with an error regarding needing an 'Interactive Window Station'.
CAUSE:
Currently this is a known limitation with System Manager. Currently there is Enhancement Request to allow System Manager to execute Workflows in a true silent mode. Strategy will continue to investigate and post updates as soon as they are available.
WORKAROUND:
Currently there is not a workaround to this limitation.
