automation fail running report

[bozora]

Hi, I'm trying to run a report at midnight M-F. This is my first attempt running a report, and I received failure messages. My set up seems pretty straight forward, but I'm not running a code snippet. Is this the issue? Is there a standard code snippet that needs to be applied? My automation and the failures I received are below. Thanks! Callie

here's my automation as it was set up:
Rule:
Recurrence Weekly
Recur every 1 week on: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at 12am CST

Then:
run Transaction Activity report
then save to my desktop


Failure messages I encountered:
1. The activity 'SwitchToReportContextActivity' encountered a failure.
2. The automation process zDaily Transaction Report failed. (Instance=9063a68e-f6e0-ee11-84f1-00155d198902)
3. The activity 'AutomationSessionScope' encountered a failure.
4. Error: The automation instance failed.

You have called a method on an object that had a null value. Without posting code to the dev forum (simplified and sanitized) in a code block, it will be hard to tell what maybe the cause.
