Batch file written in notedpad with '>' shows '1>' in dos windows.

I am trying to log an output from MSDeploy command line script to a log file.

:: SYNC FILES--
"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2\msdeploy.exe" -Verb:sync ^
-Source:AppHostConfig=Website1,ComputerName=Server1 ^
-Dest:AppHostConfig=Website1,ComputerName=Server2 ^
-Skip:SkipAction='Update',objectName=filePath,absolutePath=.*web.config$ ^
-Skip:SkipAction='Update',ObjectName=contentPath,absolutePath=c:\\inetpub\\apppools ^
-Skip:objectName=Binding ^
-EnableRule=DoNotDeleteRule > msdeploy.log
TIMEOUT /T 100

"> msdeploy.log" shows up as "1> msdeploy.log" and becomes unable to log anything.

Any help will be appreciated ?

Solution

  • The redirection with > is the short form of 1>, to redirect stream1.

    This is not your problem.

    But it could be a directory problem, so the file is created but not in the expected one.

    This happens when the working directory is not the same as the directory where the batch resides.
