Talend Job over network - CMD doesnt support UNC paths

[Jj5]

I'm trying to run a remote job on a server. When I run the job inside TOS, it runs perfectly. However when I execute the job remotely, I get the following error: 
'\\fs1\universe\Talend\Lenders\OSC\OSC8129001\OSC8129001'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported.  Defaulting to Windows directory.

'\\' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

'\\fs1\universe\Talend\Lenders\OSC\OSC8129001\OSC8129001\'
CMD does not support UNC paths as current directories.

Error: Could not find or load main class creditcentral.osc8129001_0_1.OSC8129001

I have a tFileList that has the following filepath: 
(String)System.getProperty("user.dir")
Any recommendations/suggestions?

Thanks for the link xdshi. I found that link earlier when I was researching the problem but it didn't work for me. I'm attaching a screenshot that shows the unc path I used and it still didn't work.

You can try to use the / (without double it) instead of \ because the JVM translate it automatically into the appropriated char. This way you avoid the hassle with the \ as escape char.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. Unfortunately, I still have the same error message.

It seems that the error lies in the job_run.bat file that Talend generates for building jobs.
In the batch file the first two lines are:
%~d0
cd %~dp0
The error occurs when CMD tries to cd to the UNC path. When I edited the batch file to instead say  "pushd %~dp0" instead of "cd %~dp0" it worked. Is there a more elegant solution or even an option in Talend that will let the jobs run on network drives, or will I have to edit every batch file I create from now on?

[Jj5]

Is there any workarounds to get past manually editing every job_run.bat file manually and changing "cd" to "pushd"?

[Jj5]

Any thoughts?

Hi,
as file script is generated by Talend, I don't think so (there is a workaround).
Ask as a feature to bugtracker that Talend generate such a file that avoid that 'UNC constraint'.
unfortunatly I'm not able to give you more information.
ps: write a little script that modify syntax ....

Thanks for the reply kzone. I took your advice and created a ticket so I'll wait it out and see what happens next.
