Re: Re: Automation Designer - any one have luck with this

I'd read the documentation but that small detail escaped me.  I think my confusion stems from folders not behaving like one would expect.  I just now realized that application have to have unique names, I would have assumed that you could have apps with the same name in different folders.   Folders do nothing but organize apps into groups, which you have to do after you create them through the various tools.

The previous reply sort of resolved the issue.   What I want to do is create an application in a specific folder.  You can't do that from the export data set screen.  I have to name the app and the action and then later move it to the folder where I want it.

Question, can you move an action from one app to another?  I appears like I can 'copy' an action but I'm not sure where to paste it.

Thanks for your help.

There is good documentation in Toad about this. The subject is "Execute Actions from the Command Line" in the Help system.

You don't specify the folder on the command line. You specify either the App or the Action, or both. 

You didn't mention if my earlier reply resolved your issue.  I heartily recommend spending a few minutes with the docs.  Good stuff in there.

OK next question. Running from the command line:

Toad.exe -c user/xxxxxxx@EM -a "Export Jobs->NAGM_PROD"

Told me I couldn't find the job even though I have a folder called 'Export Jobs' under "My Apps".

Running 

Toad.exe -c user/xxxxxxx@EM -a "NAGM_PROD"

worked
