<CFexecute> not giving output

[kishoreb]

code at command line which is working fine should be executed.

> license_gen.exe test.xoq -o test.txt -v

arguments to exe file:
text.xoq is the input file name
test.txt is the output file name

I want to execute the same from the coldfusion cfexecute and its not working.

<Cfexecute name="C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\test\license_gen.exe" arguments="test.xoq -o test.txt -v">
</cfexecute>

Please correct me where I am wrong.

Where are the test.* files? CF is probably looking in jrun4/bin for them, where it runs. I would try fully qualifying the files with paths to start.

I also find creating a .BAT file that runs your exe, useful. That way you can specify environment variables and CD to the directory you want, etc. The line:
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\test\license_gen.exe %1 %2
in you batch file will allow you to pass 2 arguments to the exe.
