I have a very simple Automation script that uses a stored template to do a file export. I now need to change the output filename. Seems basic enough, but it looks to me the ONLY way I can do that is to go into export template itself (open it with a text editor), then find the xml section beginning with "<FileConfiguration" then change the name in the config setting after "FileName=".
I just want to make sure there's not a way to do this change somewhere right in the user interface? I'm on Toad Data Point 6.2.3.25681 (64 bit).
In the Export Wizard step in Automation script, under the Export template filed there is the Edit selected template button. When you click on it, the Export Wizard will be started, and you can Edit template in which way you want, so you can change the export file name.
Thx, only obvious in hindsight! To belabor you need to choose Edit in the window where you are challenged to choose objects to export (wasn't clear, I guess, that in fact you're editing more than the objects to export).

There is also a copy file action in Toad Data Point automation you can use to rename files after the fact.
