Sage 100

Hi 90 Minders

Hope all is well.

I have an issue - as usual.

My client is running a third-party app that works perfectly when run from Windows Task Scheduler on the server - the issue is that it slows the system down to a halt at certain times.  The  Task Scheduler job is used to restart the app when the server is rebooted.  When the program is run from a workstation (manually within Sage 100) it works as expected and the slowdown does not occur.

The problem is that I am not able to run the restart for the app on a workstation.

Batch file on the workstation (where M is the local drive for the server)

@Echo Off
M:
cd M:\Home\
pvxwin32.exe -hd../launcher/sotapgm.ini ../soa/Startup.m4p -ARG DIRECT UION "Int Data" id ADL KC_MONITOR_UI

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If M is a mapped drive on the workstation, and you are trying to run the batch file on the workstation through the task schedule, generally speaking a mapped drive is not accessible from Task Scheduler.  You might try changing your task to "run as" the user, only while logged on, and that might work.  Otherwise, try changing the path to UNC instead of referencing the mapped drive.
