Avoid calling sh.exe

Hi,
This is somewhat of a jump off my old post, but a new topic in general.
viewtopic.php?t=153463
We've found out that "sh.exe" is causing issues and breaking jobs randomly. Is there a way to avoid calling it without switching to unix? Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,

Depends. Why are you calling it?

Well..... That's what we are trying to figure out honestly. IBM told us setting "APT_PM_USE_STANDALONE_EXE = 1" would avoid calling it. But its still popping up in process explorer and is causing clients to crash and breaking jobs.

Then it seems you should continue to work with IBM, tell them they provided an incomplete (or incorrect) solution.

Yeah, we still are. They just have not been super helpful sadly. I figure I'd just try to exhaust as much resources as possible in the mean time.

I don't think the percentage of people running Windows servers is all that high out there so not sure how many people here could really help. Expecially with something odd like this.

Track down whether it's you at fault. For example look for ExecSH as a before/after subroutine, look for DSExecute called with "SH" as the shell argument from your routines. If you eliminate these possibilities you have a stronger case to take back to IBM.

Neither one of these things are the case. This is the strangest error I've encountered :/
