Batch file will not run via Scheduled Tasks

[David C]

Hi everyone,

Quick question - why will this batch file that contains
only these lines below work when i manualy run it, but
when i try to run it via Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks
it just wont run. -

COPY /Y "E:\Cubes\ALL\" "F:\GG_JDE\Allocations\"
COPY /Y "E:\Cubes\PS\" "F:\GG_JDE\Projected_Sales\"
COPY /Y "E:\Cubes\SH\" "F:\GG_JDE\Sales_History\"

Any help would be great.

Cheers
David

Apply an administrative account and password to the Task Job.

Apply an administrative account and password to the Task Job.

Or add the appropriate 'net use' commands (complete with userid and
password) at the beginning of the batch file to map the drives.

Here is a more general tip to resolve such issues. Modify
your batch file as below, then examine the logs to see
what's going on.

@echo off
echo %date% %time% Start of job > c:\test.log
echo UserName=%UserName% >>c:\test.log
COPY /Y "E:\Cubes\ALL\" "F:\GG_JDE\Allocations\" 1>>test.log 2>test.err
COPY /Y "E:\Cubes\PS\" "F:\GG_JDE\Projected_Sales\" 1>>test.log 2>>test.err
COPY /Y "E:\Cubes\SH\" "F:\GG_JDE\Sales_History\" 1>>test.log 2>>test.err
