KNIME batch executor hangs

[ana_m]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to execute KNIME workflow in a batch mode, first on Windows Server 2012 virtual machine, then I tried on a personal computer, but it doesn’t work. My command line looks like following:

“C:\Program Files\KNIME\knime.exe” -consoleLog -reset -nosplash -preferences=“C:\Program Files\KNIME\preferences.epf” -data=“C:\Program Files\KNIME\batch_cmd_log.txt” org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION -workflowDir=“C:\Users\xxxxxx\knime-workspace\Ispad_plocice_lossoflink_sched_test”

The issue with the command line is that KNIME opens interface every time (is it supposed to do so?) and then it hangs after two warnings and does nothing. I have no problem in executing workflows manually. Here is the part of the consoleLog:

…so after this part it’s just stuck and there are no results. Anbody see something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Your invocation appears to be missing the -application before the org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION (i.e ... -application org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION ... instead of ... org.knime.product.KNIME_BATCH_APPLICATION ...)

Ah, what a silly mistake :). Lost it somewhere between trials and errors. Thank you!
