Hi folks, executing Knime in Batch mode fails since recently without any changes being applied. I’ve created a script that is scheduled to run by the Windows task scheduler. I can see Knime running in the task manager but then it is stopped / aborts. The log does not indicate anything. Running the workflow manually works like a charm. Running the workflow through another one which contains call local workflow note and a nice approach to execute upon failure also does work like a charm. Just the batch execution doesn’t. The command I use is cd C:\Program Files\KNIME knime.exe -nosplash -reset -nosave --launcher.suppressErrors -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowDir="C:\Users\Public\Knime Workflows\BANS2065\FactFinder Data Harmonization" This is the workflow I use to execute the local workflow until if finished gracefully.

The invocation you’re listing here doesn’t specify to start as batch mode (-application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION) so it would make sense that the GUI opens. Are you saying once the GUI is running and you’ve opened the workflow, it fails to execute for some reason?
