Method and system for transferring job between computers

Abstract

In a job transferring method of sending a request from a first computer to a second computer so as to cause the second computer to register and execute a job, the request is created so that it can include a plurality of scripts, the script being an aggregation of a plurality of commands. For example, the first computer creates a request data stream that includes the content of the plurality of scripts, then sending the created request data stream to the second computer. Moreover, the second computer extracts the content of the plurality of scripts included in the request data stream and stores the content as a script file for each script, then executing a script to be executed first of the plurality of scripts.
