[SOLVED] - How to run Python script from Fex

Hi All
I have a BAT file (with the python command line script) that can run from Windows.
When I try to run the same bat file from Fex. It errors out.
** Following is from the FEX

! cmd /c "cd \python36\dciscripts\ && chdir && ptocost.bat"
C:\Python36\DCIScripts
got it
C:\Python36\DCIScripts
C:\Python36\DCIScripts>python import_from_file.py -f ptoclist.csv -s http -h servername -p 8080 -r /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs -u wftestuser5 -pw xxxxx
'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Python is installed on the server and folder path is in the environment variables..

As you can see from Fex, the folder is changed to the location of the python script and where the bat file is located
Any help from someone who is familiar with this issue will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I'm wondering if you need to preface each of your commands with Queue...

Ok I resolved it .. I found out that the python.exe file needs to be in the folder where I am running this bat file from FEX. When running this bat file in Windows CMD, it finds the python.exe due to the environment variables but I guess when running via a Fex, that path to python.exe file is not available.

This process creates RC Access List using Rest/CSV file.

C:\Python36\DCIScripts
C:\Python36\DCIScripts>python import_from_file.py -f ptoclist.csv -s http -h server -p 8080 -r /ibi_apps/rs/ibfs -u wftestuser5 -pw xxxxx

I think there you need to add the python path to the path of the userID running the webfocus service.


Cheers,
