8. Enter the path of directory, where you want the run the specified batch or executable file, in the Working Directory (Absolute Path) field.

   All files specified into batch or executable file must be placed on the server on which the Adeptia Server is running.

   If Working Directory is not specified, the home directory of Adeptia Server, (i.e. ../../AdeptiaServer/AdeptiaeServer-6.2) becomes the working directory. All the files specified into batch or executable file will be looked into Adeptia Server home path.
   For example, there is batch file Mybatch.bat and it is placed on C drive. The contents of batch file are Copy File1.txt File2.txt. File1.txt is placed in C drive. Since the working directory is not specified the batch file will look for File1.txt into ../../AdeptiaServer/AdeptiaServer-5.1 and it will cause error. So you can either specify the working directory (i.e. C:) or specify the absolute path (e.g. copy C:\File1.txt C:\File2.txt) in the batch file.

9. Click the Save button.
