executing a batch command through SSIS Job

Question

I need to execute an batch file through SSIS job. previously we used to do this in cmd prompt, is there any way that we can run batch file through ssis job

Answer 1

First of all, consider if you really need to execute a batch file. Maybe there is a built in way to achieve what you need. For example if you are just moving/renaming files then you can use the FileSystemTask

Otherwise, you can use the ExecuteProcessTask

• This page shows all the options that can be configured for this task, i.e. the path to the batch file, arguments, etc.
• This page shows how to set those properties.
