Hi Nick,
Thanks for help!
My bat file runs without any errors from external tasks in EDQ.
The account has full control on all the shared folders i am using.
My script:
    set ss_temp_dir=D:\Datanomic\dnDirector\config\landingarea\EDQ_Notification
echo s1 > log.txt
    set srm_analyzer_path=\\<appsrvr4>\d$\sba81\siebsrvr\BIN
echo s2 >>log.txt
COPY /Y \\<appsrvr1>\d$\sba81\siebsrvr\BIN\*.fdr \\qssdvucmgtw301\siebfile\FDR
COPY /Y \\<appsrvr2>\d$\sba81\siebsrvr\BIN\*.fdr \\qssdvucmgtw301\siebfile\FDR
COPY /Y \\<appsrvr3>\d$\sba81\siebsrvr\BIN\*.fdr \\qssdvucmgtw301\siebfile\FDR
:: The above copy is not working from EDQ - no files copied - running the commands from cmd or double clicking the bat works fine for all commands.
echo s3 >>log.txt
::  log s1-s2-s3 created in commandarea.
setLocal DisableDelayedExpansion
pushd  \\<sharedloc>\siebfile\FDR\
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
echo s4 >>log.txt
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%G in ('dir/b/od T*.fdr') do (set newest=%%G)
echo s5 >>log.txt
copy %newest% %ss_temp_dir%
echo s6 >>log.txt
:: log s4-s5-s6 created in   \\<sharedloc>\siebfile\FDR\
  pushd %ss_temp_dir%
echo s7 >>log.txt
  for %%F in (%ss_temp_dir%\*.fdr) do (
     ::set outfile=%ss_temp_dir%\%%~nF.csv &&
  %srm_analyzer_path%\sarmanalyzer.exe -o %ss_temp_dir%\Snapshot_Working_CSV.csv -x -f %%F
:: The above saqrm_analyzer is not working from EDQ - no files copied - running the commands from cmd or double clicking the bat works fine for all commands.
echo s8 >>log.txt
MOVE /Y %ss_temp_dir%\*.fdr %ss_temp_dir%\BU\
echo s9 >>log.txt
:: The above move is not working from EDQ - no files copied - running the commands from cmd or double clicking the bat works fine for all commands.
::Log s7-s8-s9 created in %ss_temp_dir%
Thanks,
