https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Launching-a-BAT-file-from-BP/m-p/79811#M31643 Hi All    I am trying to automate an application which is launched by a BAT file(Batch file). Is there any possible way to launch a BAT file from BP and  Is it possible to identify objects in an application launched from Batch file.  Wed, 21 Mar 2018 17:24:00 GMT maathavanP 2018-03-21T17:24:00Z https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Launching-a-BAT-file-from-BP/m-p/79811#M31643 Hi All    I am trying to automate an application which is launched by a BAT file(Batch file).

Note here 'process' means exe (or bat), not a BP process.

Of course it is possible to identify objects in applications launched from Batch file.   What you need to do is the following: * Add a Code action in your object. * In the Code action, you can put a sentence to launch any type of file. For example, with an object configured to use Visual Basic, I put this code to execute a bat file:  system.diagnostics.process.start(""C:\folder\file_name.bat"").  * Lets say that ""file_name.bat"" file executes a java application. You should create a new object, and in the creation wizard you have to configure this object as ""Use an application that is already running"", not from a executable file. * In the same wizard, indicate the window name of the application and the name of process (take it from the Task Manager, in the application process properties). * In your process, use the object to execute the .bat file first, and then use the other object to use the java application.   Tips: Use ""Windows Exist"" to wait for the application after executing the .bat file. You can find this action in the ""Utility - General"" object. For java applications (in this example), you have to use Java Access Bridge to identify the elements.   Good luck.
