Bat file dependence in windows Task Scheduler

[renuka_sasikumar]

Hi,

I have one MorningProcess.bat which is scheduled in Windows Task Scheduler & also I have BusinessMIS.bat.

Now I want BusinessMIS.bat to run as soon as the MorningProcess.bat is completed.

Can anyone please help me on this as it is very urgent.

Thanks & Regards,

First schedule the MorningProcess.bat to run first.

Later run the BusinessMIS.bat based on the estimated time of run of MorningProcess.bat.

[#3]

Why don't you call the "BussinessMIS.bat" file from the "MorningProccess.bat" at the last.

So once the execution of the "MorningProccess.bat" is completed, the execution of the "BussinessMIS.bat" will start.

if the above won't work follow the instructions mentioned in the below link.

If I do the same the estimated time for MorningProcess.bat is not same everyday.

Then there will be a problem.

Is there any option where I can select to run after this same like what we do in Publisher.

Thanks & Regards,

Windows task scheduler does not have any concept of task dependencies. You could create a bat file that calls each of your two bat files in the correct order and schedule that.

If you google this topic you will certainly find a scheduler with dependencies to download, but it can all be done as I suggested. If the second task is conditional on the success of the first, then return an error code from the first and use errorlevel to conditionally call the second.
