OS command line script - Need help

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

Have any one written a OS command line script for windows and executed it through the file adapter, run operating system command option.

Can you guys provide me the details about how to do it.

I have no idea about writing the script as well.

Can you help me to code a simple script to make directory and execute it through file adapter.

Hi Rahul,

For OS Command Scirpts for Windows environment is nothing but Batch files.

Noramally you can write one or more commands in a file and save the filename in XI server dirctory with .bat extension.

Then you can directly call this batch file from Adapter OS command.

Hi Rahul,

Yes, You have to write each command in a seperate line and save it in text file with .bat extension.

From Adapter OS command you can call like this..

D://server_dir//subdir//myCMDfile.bat

Hi Rahul,

Try giving complete filepath in copy command..

You can even use place holders like %f or %F in OS Command and XI will fill this with Actual filename from Fileadapter.

Hi Rahul,

If you want to get filename from Adapter use the following sample code:

File adapter OS Command: D://server_dir//subdir//myCMDfile.bat %F

Batch file:

copy %1 new_filename_with_path

Hope this solves your problem.
