External process step

The external process step type executes a script or application with predefined arguments.

There are a several settings you can set:

Process file

The full path to the application or script file

Note: It's not advised to change the executable path unless is absolutely necessary.

Process arguments

The arguments that will be used to start the external process.

Working directory

If not set, the working directory is the same directory as the location of the "Process file"

Impersonate

Check this option if you want to impersonate when you are executing the process . Impersonation can help if the Service Account for the IM Sequencer Service
does not have the appropriate rights to start or run the process.

- Username

Username used during impersonation, you can use Domain\Username combination.

- Password

Password for specified username.

Note: The provided credentials will not be tested during setup, if you provide the wrong credentials the impersonation will fail, impersonation will revert at the end of this step type.

- Use remote impersonation

Use this option if the username and password cannot be validated on the current machine. For instance when you want to run the process in another context (and this process is accessing resources from another domain or workgroup machine).
