I don't believe you can do that from a batch file.  You have to create a VB Script to use BOI and create the objects.  I have done something similar with a VB script that calls the batch file for the VI.  The other challenge is waiting until the VI job is done before running other tasks.  There doesn't seem to be a good way to do that.  You are probably better off scheduling them separately - run the batch file for the VI job, then 15 minutes later run the VBScript to run the registers.

Odd that the KB article implies it can be done or am I misreading it?  In any case, would you mind sharing with me the script you created to run the registers?  Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your speedy reply.

Sage task scheduler can do auto-posting... and you can trigger scheduled tasks (once configured / working) from a batch file.

Some things may be technically possible but are too complicated for anyone but master developers to deal with.

Can you provide some sample code for the bat file or direct me to where I might get more information?  Thanks.

Google how to start a scheduled task from a batch file.  That is the easy part.  Task Scheduler auto posting can be tricky to get working at all.

Following KB 19387, I've successfully created three individual bat files to run > (1) VI Import, (2) Launch Production Register, and (3) Launch Daily Sales Reports/Updates.  Each of the bat files works perfectly when executed individually.  However, when I create 4.bat to Call each of the three previous bat files in sequence, only the first job runs and 4.bat ends.  Looks like control is not being transferred back to 4.bat after the first job completes.  Any ideas how to return control to 4.bat so execution can continue?  Code for VI Import bat file below:

C:

CD "C:\Sage\Sage 100 Workstation\MAS90\Home\"

"C:\Sage\Sage 100 Workstation\MAS90\Home\pvxwin32.exe" -hd ../launcher/sota.ini *Client -ARG "server" "1234" "Production Register Update" -ARG= DIRECT UION user pword TES VIWI1B DISPLAY

VI jobs triggered from a batch file do not wait until the job is finished before starting the next step in the batch file.  Use a /TIMEOUT or set up an alternative way to pause the batch file until the import is done.

Timeout is not the problem.  4.bat below >

Call bat1  (see sample code in previous post.  bat2 and bat3 are similar to bat1)

Call bat2

Call bat3

When I launch 4.bat it executes bat1 and ends.  How do I get control back to 4.bat to continue execution of the other 2 Calls?

It should happen immediately without delay, unless you put in a timeout.
