ExecuteCommand Function in TI Unable to Run Batch File

[kali]

Hi All,

I am trying to execute a batch file in TI using the “ExecuteCommand” function.

ExecuteCommand('RenameFile.bat',0);

When I run the batch file manually it works fine.

The problem is when I run the batch file using the “ExecuteCommand” function. The TI process returns a “Process completed successfully” message, but it doesn’t do anything.
I know that the function can access the file, because it returns an error whenever I change the file name that I pass in.

I am using an administrator account to logon to Architect and the TM1 services are running as “Local System Account”.

I have also tried to allow “Full Control” privilege to the batch file, but this did not fix the issue.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks!

Maybe the file your are trying to rename is locked when the ExecuteCommand is being run - the TI process would still return “Process completed successfully”.

If you want to run a batch file from a TI process you have to open a command window (with a parameter set to automatically close the window upon completion) first and then run the batch file. It would look something like this:

CommandLine ='cmd /c RenameFile.bat';
ExecuteCommand(CommandLine, 0);
