Creating Excel Sheets with Automation Designer via command line

Hi,

I’m using Toad 12.6 for Oracle to create some Excel reports. For that I’m using the Automation Designer, which works fine when I open the program and start the Automation Designer app manually.

However, if I do that via the command line, the Excel sheets don’t get created. I’ve tested my Automation Designer app by adding a step that opens Microsoft Paint, so that I can see if anything is executed,

and from that I can tell that the App itself is running. I also hear the ribbit-sound when I run Toad / the app from the command line (toad -a “appName”).

So the problem seems to be the combination of command line and Excel file creation, as each of them separately works just fine - but if both are being used together, I run into problems.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks,

Mathias
