Hell,

In the import job maintenance area, I am trying to use the "perform path" to run a .pl script or a .bat script after my vi job runs

i am doing a simple test just to get it working..

test.bat is the filename

copy test.txt test2.txt

when i run this .bat file from windows it executes properly

i've tried multiple ways to get this to run but either nothing seems to happen or sage completely hangs up and requires a server restart..

1. put the bat file and txt file in the VI folder on the server, experience number 3 and 4 below
2. put the bat file and txt file in a folder on the workstation,  experience number 3 and 4 below
3. when i put "~" in front of the path and filename the vi job runs but my .bat file doesn't execute (or nothing happens at all and no errors)
4. when i put "*" in front of the path and filename the vi job hangs up in the middle of  importing records and i have to restart the server to get sage running again.

does anyone have a simple example for me to try to be able to execute successfully a .bat or .pl file on completion of a vi job?
(i have scoured sage city and haven't found an example that works in my setup)

i'm running sage 100 2013, version 5.00...
