You cannot create an Automation object ‘name of autom.’ on Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server. You must create it on a client computer.

This is an error message, when trying to create an instance of an automation on a nav server vs. >= 2013. It’s only possible to create the automation instance as client instance. Creating automation instances on nav server is allowed till nav 2009.

solution:
use create(<name_of_autom.>,false,true) instead of create(<name_of_autom.>).

remarks:
you need a installed version of the automation on each client computer.
