Invoking plumtree job via plumtree server api

Question

Hi,
I am trying to invoke a portal job identified by a job id using plumtree server api. How do i invoke it.
I tried using IPTJob etc but couldn't succeed.
I could do this using plumtree remote api like using IJobManager.
My question is how to do it using plumtree serve api.
regards
raghu

I think you're looking for something like this:
public int startJob(java.lang.String sLoginToken, int nJobID, XPDateTime xpdtNextRunTime)
     // DCD: create a session fron this token
            IPTSession ptSession = createSession(sLoginToken);
     // DCD: Open the job in question, but don't lock it
     //IPTJob j = (IPTJob) ptSession.GetExternalOperations().Open(nJobID, false);
     IPTJob j = (IPTJob) ptSession.GetScheduler().GetScheduledJobs().Open(nJobID, false);
     // DCD: We need a server context to check/report lock status
     IPTServerContext sc = (IPTServerContext) j.GetInterfaces("IPTServerContext");
     // DCD: Is is locked?
     int nLockState = sc.GetLockState();
     // DCD: If anything other than "unlocked", return immediately
     switch(nLockState)
          case PT_LOCKSTATES.PT_LOCKED:
          case PT_LOCKSTATES.PT_NEWLYCREATED:
               return nLockState;
          case PT_LOCKSTATES.PT_NOLOCKINGREQUIRED:
          case PT_LOCKSTATES.PT_UNLOCKED:
               // DCD: Looks like we're not locked, so get a lock
                boolean bSucceeded = sc.LockObject();
                if (false == bSucceeded)
                     return PT_LOCKSTATES.PT_LOCKED;
                else
                     // DCD: We got a lock okay, so we're in business
                     XPDateTime dt = new XPDateTime();
                     j.SetSettings(PT_JOB_SETTINGS.PT_JOB_NEXTRUNTIME, xpdtNextRunTime);
                     sc.Store();
                     sc.UnlockObject();
                     return 0;
          default:
               return nLockState;
