This is a tool set to perform various tasks on the ArgusTV database(s). Some users have experienced problems passing variables where batch files have been called from the Processing Command. Users are encouraged to test their batch files in isolation and to debug them prior to calling them from the Processing Command. In addition if it is found that variables are not passed correctly to a batch file that has been proven to work correctly in isolation, then it is advised that ArgusTV Scheduler be set to run with a user with administrator rights rather than the default system account.
