Ahmed, Robocopy returns an errorlevel code that can be used to determine if a failure happened. In addition to copying the reports why not just create a new file with the status of the run. This will also catch a failure even if ROBOCOPY does not create a log file.
For Example: REM ROBOCHECK.BAT if exist status.txt del status.txt ROBOCOPY \\remoteserver\sourcepath \\localserver\destpath ... REM If not report exists assume robocopy failed. if not exist report.txt set ERRORLEVEL=16 REM if errorlevel 8 or 16 create the status.txt file. if errorlevel 16 echo FATAL ERROR - REMOTESERVER > status.txt if errorlevel 16 goto end if errorlevel 8 echo FAILED - REMOTESERVER > status.txt if errorlevel 8 goto end :end REM Copy the status.txt file to the SA server with a different name. REM The user\process that runs this batch file needs to have write access to the share below. if exist status.txt copy status.txt \\SASERVER\SHARE\REMOTESERVER.TXT On the SASERVER create a bat file that returns an errorcode if REMOTESERVER.TXT exists. For example: REM REMOTESERVER.BAT @echo off REM Sets error level for SA to act on... if exist REMOTESERVER.TXT set ERRORLEVEL=1 REM Archive Error file for review... if exist REMOTESERVER.TXT if exist REMOTESERVER.OLD del REMOTESERVER.old if exist REMOTESERVER.TXT ren REMOTESERVER.TXT REMOTESERVER.OLD exit Then in SA create an errorlevel check ">0" that runs the batch file.
