See the example python script in the doc page https://docs-snaplogic.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SD/pages/1439321/Script

The script needs to consume all the input documents which are passed in its input view. If you do not need the input docs, you could add a loop to drop the docs

def execute(self):
    while self.input.hasNext():
        data = self.input.next()

    filepath="C:\\Profisee\\ProfiseeMatch.bat & exit"
    p = subprocess.Popen(filepath, shell=True, stdout = subprocess.PIPE)
    p.communicate()
    p.wait()
    self.output.write (p.returncode)
