Run command on a gallery

Hi,

 

I have a macro which i am running through events on the completion of a workflow. The vbs script although lies on my desktop. I upload the workflow on the gallery but it fails with the error:

  • Error running Event #1: The external program "cscript.exe" returned an error code: 1: Access is denied. (5)

 

Any ideas what i can do since i would like it to be automated?

Hi @rajat_del 

 

Ideally, your desktop is not accessible by the server. You need to place the vba script in shared drive/network drive, provide gallery access to the path and then reference in gallery workflows.

 

Hope this helps : )

I tried by keeping the vbs script and the macro on Onedrive, but still it says access denied.

 

There has to be a better solution.
