Issue/Introduction:

On a Windows Remote Agent, we want to schedule a dos batch file .bat that launches a java program but with Autosys the java program doesn't start. When we schedule this dos batch file in Windows scheduled tasks, the java program starts.

Cause:

The remote agent was not able to resolve relative paths passed as arguments to the main script.

Environment:

Autosys and System Agent release 11.0 on Windows.

Resolution:

Use absolute PATHs instead of relative PATHs everywhere in the .bat file so the Java program can start successfully.
