workflow on scheduler using batch files given errors

I have an workflow which run's an number of batch files, but as soon as i put the workflow on a scheduler it displaying the following error message

The external program "xxxxx\JS_Copy.bat" returned an error code: 1

Any advise on how I can run the workflow with out getting this error message and on a scheduler? Do I have to run the batch Marco each time or can it be done only once?

Any advise would be great

The error normally suggests a problem within the batch script. If this runs as expected from the Designer and only throws the error when run on a schedule, I'm wondering whether this could be an access issue.

Is the batch script referencing a file/directory on your local computer? Do you have a run as user configured on your scheduler? If not, do you want to try configuring this as your user?

The batch marco was run a couple of weeks back,I ran a test manual the other week and it was working correctly.

The batch script is on the network which the Alteryx server has access to.

The batch is to only to rename the file and all the information is in the workflow.

I ran it not on scheduler and got the error, but as soon as i re ran the batch marco it works. Does it mean i have to run the batch marco each time I ran the workflow.
