Hi,

 

I want to run a bat file on fme server. It work perfectly on fme workbench, but I get this message when I run it on fme server : SystemCaller_6: Failed to Execute `\\\\"filedirectory"\\"mybatfile".bat'

 

I saw this post and tried the double quotes, but got the same result. https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/303225/how-to-run-a-batch-file-by-fme-server

 

Is there anything else I can try?

 

Thank you,

 

Ian

You should try and find the FMEEngineProcessMonitor ​log or whatever it's called. There you might find some more information about the error specific tocthe system call. FME Workbench will include more info in the log window but on FME Server the errors are often in a seperate log.


Two things to verify

  1. The double quotes should be around the entire path, not the individual elements, i.e. "\\\\filedirectory\\mybatfile.bat"
  2. Make sure the FME Server engine is running as a domain user (this is not the default) with access to specified UNC path
