Hi,

Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing

● Command Line

An operating system command specified here is executed before or after the message processing of a file that was found in a run. The default value is an empty character string (no command).

When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:

● %f (file name)

● %F(absolute file name including path)

● Timeout (secs)

This specifies the maximum runtime of the executing program in seconds. When this time interval is exceeded, the adapter continues processing. The executing program continues to run in the background.

● Terminate Program After Timeout

Set this indicator if the adapter is to terminate the executing program when the timeout is exceeded.

The adapter writes the output (STDOUT and STDERR) for the operating system command in the system trace.

Hi Sadhana.,

If u want to run more that one command ., the only option is try to create a batch file and call the batch file in the Run time Operating system command.,

cmd /k e:\usr\sap\trans\AGCO\Packslip\PS_Upload.bat

the batch file should be stored in XI server..

try with this and post with any queries..
