Hello -

I'd appreciate any suggestions regarding a problem I'm having getting a batch file to execute via the MQ Trigger Monitor. Thanks to the other tips I've read in this forum, I'm close, but no cigar yet.

I think my queues & trigger monitor are fine because the triggered process does start when I put a message into the application queue. The bat file I'm using for debug is specified in the Process Definition as:
"START /B C:\PROGRA~1\dummybat.bat"

C:\PROGRA~1\dummybat.bat consist of some simple DOS commands:

@echo off
DIR >C:\DOCUME~1\gdiehl\MYDOCU~1\MyProgDir.txt
CD C:\PROGRA~1\Java
CD C:\DOCUME~1\gdiehl
COPY MYDOCU~1\dummyfile.txt MYDOCU~1\dummyfilenew.txt

When the process fires, a new CMD.EXE process is created and the Current Directory for that process gets set to C:\PROGRA~1\Java. But that's where it hangs. Moreover, neither of my test output files, MyProgDir.txt or dummyfilenew.txt are created

Any thoughts ?

Thank you.

Gary

I find your script odd, in that there are two CD commands together, which would make the first one redundant, as you have it coded. Are you sure that the second one should not be CD DOCUM~1\gdiehl? In which case, why not just code it as one command?

If not, what is the first CD command doing for you?

You also can put the full name, i.e., C:\Program Files\..., etc., rather than C:\Progra~1\....

Hi -

The pasted batch file was just to see how far the things executed. By going into the process monitor after the job hung and looking at the current directory, I could see whether the batch file started at all, and if so, how far it got. There was no more productive use to the program.

Good news is that I think I have the problem fixed. Thanks to related posts in this forum, it seems like MUSR_MQADMIN didn't have the required authority. Giving it Admin rights seems to have allowed the real batch file, that which starts my UPES Framework, to fire.

Thanks again
