Invoking Batch Process from Load Runner

Hi Experts,



Greetings!



Below is the scenario:



There is a batch file (Batch.CMD) in my local machine (say D:\Simulator folder).
When user clicks on the batch file, it will execute a process which sends messages to the server(depending on the properties set in the D:\Simulator\Lib and D:\Simulator\Config folders)
After running the batch file for some time (say 10 mins) I would stop it by pressing CTRL+C.


Now I need the below:

My VuGen script should go to this path and click on (or invoke) the batch file and run it when I replay the script.
When I stop the VuGen script, the batch file should stop running.


Is it possible to do it?

What’s the VuGen protocol to do it?



My goal is to parameterize the directory path of the batch file in VuGen script, so that I have many instances of the batch file (obviously with different properties set in the \Lib and \Config folders) running when I run the script from Controller.



Ideas/Suggestions? Thank you for your time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you
Amar.
