Why PMCMD (informatica command) is not run by Java Processbuilder from its own directory while it works fine with command prompt

Question

I'm new to Java Process Builder and trying to run the Informatica's commands (PMCMD commands) but I am getting the following error at line "Process process = builder.command(commandLine).start();" of my below code snippet.

**"java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "pmcmd" (in directory "C:\data\Informatica\10.1.1\clients\PowerCenterClient\CommandLineUtilities\PC\server\bin"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified[0;39m"**

**PMCMD exact path on my PC**
C:\data\Informatica\10.1.1\clients\PowerCenterClient\CommandLineUtilities\PC\server\bin

**My code:**

ProcessBuilder builder = new ProcessBuilder("cmd.exe");
builder.redirectInput(ProcessBuilder.Redirect.INHERIT);
builder.redirectOutput(ProcessBuilder.Redirect.INHERIT);
builder.redirectErrorStream(true);
builder.directory(new File("C:\\data\\Informatica\\10.1.1\\clients\\PowerCenterClient\\CommandLineUtilities\\PC\\server\\bin\\"));

List<String> commandLine = new ArrayList<String>();
commandLine.add("pmcmd");
Process process = builder.command(commandLine).start();
int status = process.waitFor();
System.out.println("Status: " + status);
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
//BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new //OuputStream(process.getOutputStream()));
//OutputStream os = process.getOutputStream();
//System.out.println(os.flush());

//BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getOutputStream()) );
String line;
while (true) {
    line = r.readLine();
    if (line == null) { break; }
    System.out.println(line);
}

Answer 1

I think when you are replacing the cmd passed in the constructor with only pmcmd. Try doing this:

commandLine.add("cmd");
commandLine.add("/C");
commandLine.add("pmcmd");

You can remove the argument passed in the ProcessBuilder constructor.
