Run External Application Properties
Description Item
Specifies the application that the activity launches. Application Name
• To run an application registered by Microsoft or available in the
system path, you do not have to specify a full path. For example,
if you want to select Microsoft Excel, you can simply type “excel”.
• To run other applications, type the full path to the application in
this box, or browse for the application to find its path.
Specifies an input or parameter to pass to the target application when
the activity starts. The argument may be anything appropriate for the Arguments
application, such as a file name, folder name, variable, and so on. If
a variable is used, the variable value is written to the external
application in place of the variable name.
When you type arguments directly, observe the following standard
command line syntax:
• Syntax for a variable in an argument is $var_Variable1$.
• You must type a space between multiple arguments.
• If the path placeholder results in a path with spaces, you must add
double quotation marks around the argument.
