Let's see if someone here understands the problem and can provide some help.

In our network we have many Windows batch files which are supposed to start one or several R or Python files. In most cases this works well with VisualCron, like for example here:

So we provide a quoted path to a batch file
image.png

And it works:

Unfortunately VisualCron struggles with some quoted paths:

Batch file:
image.png

Result:
image.png

Translation:
The command “\\FS01\Kunden\Bobshop” is either written incorrectly or could not be found.
The command “Co.” is either written incorrectly or could not be found.

So for unknown reasons VisualCron seems to split up the quoted path either in the Visualcron task or in the batch file. What can we do to avoid this? Do we have to use „other quotes“? Do we have to mask certain characters such as , and & ?

This worked without any problem in the Windows taskplaner.


Thx!

Thomas

Seems weird...If I read it right it does not like the comma in the path.

I am curious if you tried a different process. There is a Process - Remote Execute Or if you used the "Working Directory" in Miscellaneous

Does either of those work better?

Been troubleshooting this via email as well. Suggested both remote execute and the working directory but does not bring a desirable output. Still investigating this via email. But absolutely feel free if anyone else has any suggestions on this, we'd greatly appreciate it.
