Execute OS command from receiver file system

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a file to file interface developed in XI that simply transfers a file from an ftp location to XI file system. After that I want to execute an OS command after message processing. I have therefore written a batch file (.bat), that copies the file in ftp server and changes its name after entering the desirable directory, and I stored it in the same folder where txt file is generated from receiver file adapter, and in receiver file adapter, in "Run OS command after message processing" tab, I have written G://usr//sap//trans//script//new.bat. The bat file works fine when tested alone from command prompt inside XI filesystem, but when tested through XI it does nothing. However, in communication channel log, I can see that OS command executed successfully.

Any ideas??

It is urgent!!

Evaggelos,

Instead of <b>G://usr//sap//trans//script//new.bat</b> try to give /usr/sap/trans/script/new.bat and see whether it calls or not? Also there are couple of weblogs written by Michal on calling OS commands. Please check these weblogs:

/usr/sap/trans/script/new.bat does not work either!

Michal,

how can I redirect my .bat;s file output to a file, in order to get an error description??

Michal,

Thanks a lot. Your blog was very helpful. I will reward you points for this.

Actually, the problem was with the .bat file, but in order to find out, I had to redirect the output error into a .txt file with ">/usr/sap/trans/error.txt", which I saw from your example.

Best Regards,
