Run procedure in Application Server from the command line

Question

Hi
I created a procedure (VARKPI and placed in C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Strategy Management\ApplicationServer\home) to call another procedure (VAR_CRE, this is created in the model). Nothing is happening and no error message also.
This is the code of my VARKPI procedure which i placed in home directory.
TRACE both 'batchload1.txt'
SUP KILL CONN TO CPM
USE CPM EXC
job VAR_CRE
trace both off
exit clear
My VAR_CRE in CPM model contain very simple queries to create measures.
Then i went to Run->CMD and to the directory ApllicationServer.Used the below command to run the job
PASAdmin.exe -j varkpi -u admin -p <pwd>
I only see that wkadmin file is shown in the Home directory whenever i run the procedure but the measures are not created in the CPM model. What could have been wrong?
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi Praveen,
The other thing that you will likely need to do is specify the model that you want the procedure to be executed from unless you want to run it from the default model specified for the user in question.  For example, if you run the job as ADMIN, then that will try and execute the procedure from JUICE by default.  If you want to change this, you need to do something like:
PASAdmin.exe -u admin -j test;PROCLIB
or
PASAdmin.exe -u admin -j test;&USEDATABASE
which will execute the procedure from your use database.
However, unless you're making sure you use RETAIN keywords when switching between models, what usually makes much more sense as it avoids issues with model locking which can occur if you're executing the procudure from a model, is to make sure your job is run from an external file.  For example:
PASAdmin.exe -u admin -j test;ext
or
PASAdmin.exe -u admin -j 'test.pro';ext
Hope this helps,
