DNR script

fbuno

Has anybody got any problems running a DNR script on a target server?

I am trying to but in the log it appears as been run successfully but this is not the case. I am on Windows 2k, OD 5.5.1 SP1

<deployment transactional="no" >
<execDeploymentTask useDefinition="MYDEFINITIONNAME">
<deployNRun>
<dnrDeployment location="target" when="after" state="success">
<script cmd="test.bat" where="D:\iw-home\OpenDeployNG\conf"/>
</dnrDeployment>
</deployNRun>
</execDeploymentTask>
</deployment>

The evaluation of the success of a DNR script running, especially on Windows, has been tricky and thus is not always correctly logged in the transcripts. I believe several issues related to this were fixed in 5.5.1 SP2 and/or 5.6 - but I don't recall right off whether or not they were specific to Windows.

However - in your case - I think you will probably have to do something like:

<script cmd="cmd -c \"test.bat\"" where="D:\iw-home\OpenDeployNG\conf"/>
or
<script cmd="cmd -c \"D:\iw-home\OpenDeployNG\conf\test.bat\""/>
or
<script cmd="C:\winnt\system32\cmd -c \"test.bat\"" where="..."/>
or
<script cmd="c:\winnt\system32\cmd -c \"d:\...\test.bat\""/>

On Windows, unless you are running a binary program - you almost always have to specify the "engine" to use for processing the command script.
