Start Process acts different

[samaritanmachine]

Hello everyone,

I have batch file for opening Dataloader application which is provided by Salesforce. When I double click to the bat file, it opens normally. However, when I use start process action in Blue Prism, it acts different. Do you have any idea why I am facing that?

In start process action provide these inputs:
Application: "explorer.exe"
Arguments: complete path of bat file

Hi @samaritanmachine ,

If you want to Run .bat file from blue prism use bellow code to run bat file.
insert bellow code in Blue Prism Code Stage and provide your bat file path as a input.

                ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"Your BAT File Path as a Input Here");
                procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
                Process process = new Process();
                process.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
                process.Start();

I hope it will help you..!

Hi Sachin,

But, how to validate if script run is completed.

for example: my script will take 6-7 mins to execute. But I tried running through blueprism - prompt opens and closes in a second (same when you the code stage in blueprism). It just passes the code stage with in a sec and proceeding to next action, but my script will take at-least 6 mins to run and execute.

Any help on how to make the BP control wait till it executes code stage(trigger script logic)
