Run Command Tool

Hi, I successfully moved files from one folder to another through Run Command tool.

 

Now I need to use the new copied file as an input for further processing. 

 

I need help to configure Run Command to do the same because Run Command is not accepting any tool for output and throwing below error-

 

When there is an outgoing connection this tool requires an input file to be configured.

 

Thanks,

Mohit

It can be very confusion about the Run Command Tool.
I just recently get to know something about it.

@Qiu  Now I have configured run tool like below; but I am getting this error-

 

Error: Run Command (918): File not found C:\Users\XX\AppData\Local\Temp\Engine_4992_cec08d65373d444592e0cd736bdaaf9f_\file1.txt"

I think you might be incorrect about the .bat format.

For the output part, the decimilter should be comma

and for the intput file, it should be the file you really want bring into the work flow.

I am not sure if you found a solution but since you know what the new copied file name and folder details are you could use the dynamic input tool to configure the folder path and file name as input for your workflow.  Hope this helps.
