Is there a way to execute a .bat file in Mendix, using a microflow or Java action call ? I want to run a Windows Batch file on click of a button. Thanks in advance.

You cannot run batch scripts in the Mendix cloud. If you're running Mendix locally (or on an environment you control), you can use Java to run a batch script:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start build.bat");
