Executing a batch file on the server

Question

User965574773 posted

I have an asp.net vb app that uploads a zip file to our server. Once there, I want to automatically run a batch file that unpacks the zip file and then executes a python script against some database schemas. The batch file and python script works flawlessly, however, I cannot figure out how to call that batch file once the upload task is completed.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated and thanks in advance...

Hi harrisonchri,

According to your description, I suggest you could append a piece of code in your web application after the upload task is completed.

Like below:

        'save the file into the server folder code
        'call the batch file
        Dim proc As System.Diagnostics.Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("your batch file with full path")
        proc.WaitForExit()
        proc.Close()

Best Regards,
