Hi Everyone,

I'm using CmdExec to call VB Application to extract records. The application is running fine when I execute. But when I put the .exe into Jobs and when I start the Jobs, the status is always executing. Anyone please help why the atatus is always Executing. Is this means the application is running continously? Any suggestion or explantion will high appriciated. Thanks in Advance.


Regards,

Andi

Make sure that your application has no user dialog.
If agent starts the app and a dialog is coming up then nobody can see this dialog and the app is waiting for input ...

Hi webfred,

Thank you for reply. Perhaps, the reason why the status is always Executing its because is waiting to input the parameters. Thanks again and more power to you.

One more question webfred if you dont mind. But when this executable files when I put in Windows scheduler is working fine the schecduler execute fine without asking any input from the user. But when I'm using CmdExec thru Jobs its not working. Any reason why? Thanks
