How to launch an DataStage job ETL from Java client?

Question

I premise that I don't know a lot about DataStage.

I just know that somebody else has created an "ETL job" and I need to launch it from my Java program, that acts as a client.

How should I do?

Edit:

The DataStage server is phisically different from the client where the Java program runs. I am not allowed running commans on the DataStage server. I need to connect via network. I imagined that DataStage provides some kind of network protocol, or webservice, or something so.

You can use the dsjob command - details see the Knowledge Center

Edit: dsjob needs to be executed at the server.

You could use a insert into a database table from remote and trigger something (i.e. a UDF) that executes the dsjob on the server. Alternatively use the WaitForFile stage and transfera file to the server.
