I have to invoke a batch file (.bat) when an ad-hoc report is executed. I've currently written a .Net code for invoking (using System.Diagnostics.Process) the batch file. The rdl file calls the method.
When I run the report from Report Designer the batch file is getting executed. But if I deploy it in the Reporting Server and run the report through Web Interface the batch file is not getting executed.
Looks like some security issue. Can someone provide a solution for this?

I am using the following batch file to execute a script that creates a db and all its objects in the local sql express:
sqlcmd -S (local)SQLExpress -i C:CreateDB.sql
This works fine, but I'm wondering if there's an easy way to put the script in the batch file, so users don't have to worry about putting the script in the C drive. I tried getting rid of the i parameter and pasting the script from the sql file into the batch file, but it didn't work.

I'm trying schedule a batch file to run as a job from sql server agent. The batch file copies files from one server directory to a directory on another server. The batch file works properly when executed directly. The job is being executed under the sql service account login. I've given the service account access to both the source and destination directories.
When I try to run the job it fails with an "Access is denied" error on both the source and destination directories (as read from job history).
Ok.. I thought I could do this but I can't get this to work.. I need to create a batch file to run an sql update statement.. This is simple but I can't get it to wortk.. How do I do it?

I just created batch file to restart analysis services and the job for executing this bat file. <<Batch File >> NET STOP "SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)" NET START "SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)"
And I did the following step in sql agent: Create the job > Select CmdExec Job > In commend section, I wrote CALL C:/RestartSSAS.bat
When I run this job, it seems everything went right but at the end, the job was filed. However, I don't see any error on this step since the service was stopped and started successfully. The below is the error message:
Executed as user: D20WKZC1SYSTEM. C:WINDOWSsystem32>NET STOP "SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)" The SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) service was stopped successfully. C:WINDOWSsystem32>NET START "SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)"The SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) service is starting. The SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER) service was started successfully. Process Exit Code 0. The step failed.
I've also tried to create the package using 'Execute Process Task ' and run it. And it's successful but when I schedule it in sql agent then it failes.
Any thoughts? Please advise me and thanks in advance.
