Trying to run a batch file on a UNC path

I'm running a pretty simple script that loops through names on machines, and runs batch files. Here's my code:
Dim RetVal1 As String
Dim RetVal2 As String
RetVal1 = Shell("\\" & Cell & "\c$\Java\bin\service\StopServerService.bat", 1)
RetVal2 = Shell("\\" & Cell & "\c$\Java\bin\service\StartServerService.bat", 1)
Each 'Cell' contains a machine name.
I keep getting a message about UNC paths not being supported. I could swear this that was working last week!!
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

I keep getting a message about UNC paths not being supported. I could swear this that was working last week!!
I would simplify matters by running this command from a Console (cmd.exe):
\\ComputerName\c$\Java\bin\service\StopServerService.bat
Does it work?
What does StopServerService.bat contain?
What operating system do the two machines run?
Is UAC active on the remote machine?
After solving the problem at the console level you should get further advice from a VBA forum.

Trying to run a batch file in ODI and the file is on a windows network drive.

Hi,
I'm trying to run a batch file that is located on a windows shared drive for the ODI server. When I try to run the file through OS command by giving the file path in the "command line". I get the error "
ODI-1226: Step fails after 1 attempt(s).
ODI-1242: Operating system command execution fails."
Please let me know if this can be done.

Hi,
First try to execute your batch file, if it is executing as expected.
Then use OdiOSCommand tool and give full path of script and also give a path to create error file & out file.
Execute the batch now via OdiOSCommand, if it fails then you will receive error message in Error file.
Also check if you have rights to script being executed via ODI.
Thanks,
DK

Run a batch file from demantra workflow

I am trying to run a batch file from demantra's workflow by creating an executable step.
I am getting the following error.
Error description ’’Invalid command line:’’"D:\Oracle Demantra Spectrum\Collaborator\demantra\sop\populate_staging.bat"
I am giving the following value in command line of executable step.
"#application_root#\sop\populate_staging.bat"
The batch file exists in the appropriate folder.
Following code is in the batch file.
sqlldr userid=msdem/msdem@demsbx control=load_item_hier.ctl
Please help me.
Thanks

This should work for you-
Create a batch file on your current server (ODI) and write in the path to the other batch file on the other server.
//Server2completename/D$/Path/yourbatchfile.bat
From ODI call your batch file that you created on the same machine.. which will inturn call the other batch file on a different machine to execute batch client.
Also can you paste the errors that you may be getting.. need to check if you are getting any specific issue related to this.
Thanks

Problems Force Running a batch file

Hi There,
I am trying to force-run a batch file to copy files from a local NBO Appliance to the C:\tmp directory on the user's workstation. The batch file lives at c:\tmp\branding.bat.
I cant get the batch file to force run. Zen reporting advises that the batch file has distributed and launched successfully, however the files do not copy.
However, if i click on the icon for the batch file app - the files copy no problem. I have tried running Workstation Associated and (Unrestricted) User Associated as well as Workstation - Force Run as User.
Path to executable file:
%*WinSysDir%\cmd.exe
Parameters:
/c "c:\tmp\branding.bat"
Any ideas? The batch file has to refer to the P: drive as the application covers 40 different sites each with their own appliance containing source files.

Thanks

Have the app object copy the batch file to the hard drive from the
server and then run it locally. This should work with a Middle Tier server.

Running a batch file

String path = "";
path = "cmd /c start FCall.bat";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec(path);
//proc.destroy() ; The code works fine, however, I need some help in exiting the command window. After executing the batch file the window should close. I have tried "destroy" didnt work it kills the entire process. Is there a function I am missing to accomplish this ?

warnerja,
I am compiling my program through command prompt. One of my method that contains the above mentioned code, runs the batch file. In doing so, it opens cmd.exe window. I want that window to be closed once the batch file ends running.
The path associated with the cmd.exe is the same as the path where I am compiling my java code.
Any suggestion ?

Running a batch file on ftp server

HI All,
i am trying to use Command line facility of file adapter to run a batch file..
i batch file i have a single command as
mkdir ranjeet.
how should i call this batch file from file adapter..
i tried putting batch file name in the command line section. I had copied the batch file on ftp server at location of Target Directory..but in audit log of adapter i am getting error as OS command cannot be executed..

Ranjeet,
>>ok..but what will command to be run of ftp run..
How do you expect any one of us to know what your ftp server is based on.
The previous reply by Carme has answered your XI query and to the point. You acknowledge it with a <b>ok</b>!! I guess it is too rude on your part.
Anway answering your question, that depends on your FTP server. Log in to your FTP server manally and try executing these commands and check.

Running a batch file in Java. Urgent!!

I want to run a batch file present at a particular location in Java.Although I am running two codes suggested by many people, i am still not able to run the batch file. My codes run as below :-
CODE 1
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\test.bat");
CODE 2
Process P;
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
P = rt.exec("C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe C:\\test.bat");
I have tried both these codes but without success. But I have observed that in the Task Manager, whenever i run the above codes in a servlet, a "CMD.EXE" is being created in the "Processes" Bar each time but the batch file neither opens up nor it runs.
Please suggest me some method to run this batch file in Java.
Or if u can suggest the reason behind the above observation and any corrections i can make to run the batch file. Thanks in advance.

Can we run the batch file using simple java application

Hello sir,
we want to run the batch file using simple java application. i tried with some example, we run the exe files but not batch file.
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec("D:\\jboss\\bin\\run.bat");
My application is server will run when we run the java appliation.
any suggestion? plz give me the solutions

yes you can run html file
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is a built-in that is used in Forms to call URL from a Web Form. It works much like the similar way that a link on an HTML page works and it takes two arguments, one is URL and second one is TARGET, in your case use following.
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://channas.iil.informatics.lk:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=abc.html', '_blank');
Hope this will work for you

URGENT:- Running a batch file from java program

Author: pkanury
I am trying to execute a batch file from my java program using RunTime and Process . It can execute any dos command except for a batch file. Can anyone throw
some light ?? My code looks like this .....
cmd = "command.com /c X:\\grits\\scripts\\test.bat"; Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process p = rt.exec(cmd);
The weird part is that p.waitFor() returns a status of 0 implying that the cmd has been executed successfully. But that is not the case. And my batch file is as simple as - type "ADADA" > junk.txt
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it should work when you use a String[] array
instead of a single String:
String[] cmd = { "command.com", "/C", "D:\\batch\\do.bat" };
Note: If the batchfile creates any output (i.e. files),
they will be stored in the directory of the application
which calls the batch file, not in d:\batch\...

Running a batch file - VERY URGENT .. help

Hi people
I am attempting to run a batch file from with a JSP page.
the code i am using is:
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process process = runtime.exec("cmd.exe /c d:\\uploadfiles.bat");
This jsp file is located on the c: of a webserver.
the uploadfiles.bat is located on the d: of the webserver and the code is:
copy d:\videos\008214?.rm d:\blah
copy d:\images\008214.* d:\blah
copy d:\xml\008214.* d:\blah
cd \blah
pkzip -es -m 008214.zip *.*
copy 008214.zip d:\upload\008214.zip
del 008214.zip
If I run this batch file from a command line, it works fine, though when I try and call it through my JSP page, it doesnt do anything .. a command window just pops up for a while, and then closes.
How can I fix this ... I need this quite quickly
Thanks people

1) It is O.K. that you see nothing in that console. Its output is captured by Java and is not displayed on the screen.
In general, that console should not be visible, but actually it behaves differently according to JDK and OS versions (treat that as a feature).
2). Look at this article:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html
It it does not answer your problem, try to search the forums:
http://search.java.sun.com/search/java/index.jsp?qp=%2Bforum%3A31&nh=10&qt=%2B%22exec%22+-%22Replies%3A+0%22&col=javaforums
Questions about Runtime.exec() has been asked hundreds of times.
3) runtime.exec() can execute BAT files. It is not necessary to specify that "cmd /C".

Running a batch file in a java servlets programme

this is what i have
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\sync.bat");
Now i need a way for the program to wait until this is finished running. I dont want to print anything until this is done. Is there a way to do this

Will this even run sync.bat or do i have to do more.Here is my entire code
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File;

                    j++;
               int i =0;
               for(i = 0; i<listy.length && listy[i] !=null;i++)
