External command is not working in File Receiver Adapter

Question

Hi,
   I have tried to copy the file which is mentioned in my File Adapter (Receiver) to 3 different folders thru OS command. The purpose is to save time. I have created one CC for Source(File) and one CC for target(File). After the target file is created, I want to copy this file in 3 folders. For this I have written one batch file in my system.
File Name: copy1.bat
@ECHO OFF
COPY %1 C:\TEST1\arch_t1
COPY %1 C:\TEST2\arch_t2 
COPY %1 C:\TEST3\arch_t3
DEL %1
The command which I entered in the Receiver CC (File Adatper is)
Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
Command Line: C:\FILES\copy1.bat %F %f
Timeout(secs): 60
Terminate Program After Timeout - Check box is selected.
But, this external command is not working. (because the target files are not created in those directories C:\TEST1, C:\TEST2, C:\TEST3)
   I did this scenario by refering the Michael'w weblog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
   In this blog, he has also given how to troubleshoot external command. I tried this also. It is not working.
    I use Windows XP OS. XI 3.0 SP 18.
   Friends, Could you kindly tell why this external command is not working? What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,

Hi, Jeg.
As the note says, please check the java Runtime.exec behavior
with the proper user.
If in doubt, check if the command can be successfully run through
the Java Runtime.exec(...) API. Also note that the command is run
as user "<sid>adm" (Unix) / "SAPService<SID>" (Windows).
So, Could you check the following(very dirty one!) Java in your
XI server and check if it works? For simulating %F, create a test
file C:\FILES\test.txt whatever the content is.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ExecJava {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {           
      Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
      Process proc = rt.exec("C:/FILES/copy1.bat C:
FILES
test.txt");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
Good Luck.
