XCOPY command to work in fex on WF 7.6.4 ?
I have a "xcopy" command working in a fex that is run in ReportCaster every nite under WF 7.1.4 release and works fine ... my problem is the xcopy will not copy files/folders under release 7.6.4 ?

In a test of one file it says that it copies but nothing shows up under the destination directory.

When I execute the command line in DOS on the server it copies it fine.

Anyone have any thoughts or come across this?

Make sure the run id that you're using (whether it's your ID or some type of system account ID) have the appropriate security privledges to execute DOS commands.

We have several DOS MOVE commands running under 7.6.4. We can run the procedures either from a "DOS" batch file or as a WebFocus procedure from the WebFocus Console. The are coded as

-DOS MOVE

with the full path and file spec for both source and target.

The function of these commands is to allow us load data bases "off line" then instantly release them to our self service appilcations.
