How is the remote command service defined on your PC? Is it started?

it returns a “Command did not complete successfully” message

The joblog should have at least one related diagnostic message before the “Command did not complete successfully” message. What other messages show up?

you want to have the spreadsheet on a server where it can be mapped to the 400′s IFS, then use the HSSF (or similar) API’s to work with the spreadsheet file directly.
