run application failing without error

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 474

Hello!

Have you seen any issues with windows 8?  I have a 'run application' to run (path)sqlcmd.exe and -S -U -P -d -Q -h-1 -o parameters which is working fine on my dev windows 7 machine and onsite windows 7 machines.

But in another implementation it does not work correctly, just creates an empty output file.  One difference is windows 8 machine is being used, where this is failing.

I experimented with changing the sql user password, and the output file then contains a complaint about invalid login.  But when I reset the password, it just went back to creating an empty output file.

Also, when I run the sqlcmd statement from a command prompt, it works fine.

Not sure if this is a Dex thing, but worth asking.

Cheers

    My only thought about this is that perhaps you are not formatting the path to the exe as generic pathname and instead it is native.

    Using native paths sometimes DOES work which then gets confusing on why it works here and then not there.  I'd double check to verify that you are indeed using run application using the generic pathname to the exe.

    The pathname is set correctly, thanks Pat!

    In this scenario, novell settings were preventing one executable from calling another.

    Changing that setting fixed the issue.
