Execute batch file

Execute batch file was created by JD Cox
This customer can only provide us with a .xlsx file.
I need it in csv format to stay in sync with our operational setup.

If I manually execute the batch file it works great.
But, when I execute it with FHServerManager, only Step 1 runs.

Strangely, when I leave the file named IMPORT.xlsx and comment Step 1 out.
Step 2 still fails to run.
@ECHO OFF

    SET FHBATCH="C:\Program Files\FlowHeater V4\BIN\FHBatch.exe"

    ECHO Set working directory
    pushd == "\\1.1.1.1\CUSTOMER_IMPORTS_EXPORTS\Import\Pending"

REM     STEP 1 RENAME XLSX FILE

    rename *.xlsx IMPORT.xlsx
     ping -n 3 1.1.1.2

REM     STEP 2 CONVERT XLSX FILE TO CSV

    %FHBATCH% XXXSET_Import_CONVERT.fhd                
    ping -n 3 1.1.1.2

exit

Hi JD,

I guess this is just an Office/COM automation issue. Please try to create the 2 in the log mentioned “Desktop” directories manually. After creation please restart the FlowHeater Server Service and try it again.

The directories are
    C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

 

Best wishes
Robert Stark
