Albert - looks like a good candidate for a dts package.

No, I don't want to do this way.
Here what I have now (job located on A):
1. backup DB
2. zip the backup file
3. copy zipped file to B, C, D (batch file)
4. unzip backup file on B, C, D
a) exec usp_unzipB
b) exec usp_unzipC
c) exec usp_unzipD
5. restore database from unzipped file on B, C, D
a) exec usp_restoreB
b) exec usp_restoreC
c) exec usp_restoreD
Here what I want to accomplish:
1. backup DB
2. zip the backup file
3. copy zipped file to B, C, D (batch file)
4. unzip backup file on B, C, D (start unzip on all servers
simultaneously)
5. restore database from unzipped file on B, C, D (start restore on all
servers
simultaneously)
This way I will cut down job execution time drastically.

You could have the job on Server A start the job on Server B; When
Server B is done, have it start the job on Server C; when Server C is
done have it start the job on Server D; when Server D is done have it
start the job on Server A that relies on the other servers.

How about using a loop and a WAITFOR statement?

You are right,
But how can I make sure A will wait until B, C, D is done.
Like I said - as soon you start B, C, D it will get back to you telling
that they all started successfully and it will go to the next step.

You could have the jobs on server B, C and D write to an event table
when they complete so that Job A will wait until it sees the following:
EventTable
Job RunDateTime
B 9/25/2007 05:00
D 9/25/2007 05:23
C 9/25/2007 06:03
Then it could run.
Just a thought
Mike

Hello everyone,
I want to execute SP on ServerB, ServerC and ServerD simultaneously
initiated from ServerA.
Or this could be a job on each server, but the problem is I need for
ServerA wait until all jobs (or SPs) are done on each server.
When I run execute ServerB.msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name it returns me
that the job started successfully and it will go to the next step.
I want to wait until it finishes.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Albert Frazer
