Forced traces being automatically triggered by the Automation Engine

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

The automation engine is automatically generating an extremely high number of system forced memory traces.
When the error occurs, the following messages can be found in the WP log files:
U00011801 Error in server routine 'UCDS_R  ', server: 'UC4#WP004' AE-System: 'UC4'.
U00003422 WARNING: Cannot load conversation memory '042f2651' for server routine 'UCDS_R'.
U00015006 System forced memory trace dump

Cause

When using nested workflows, a child workflow tries to update an inherited variable with a new value. 
In the nested foreach workflow, the Publish Value is originally saved (only possible when using the JavaUI) in lower case letters. 
In the AWI the Publish Value is always shown in upper case letters.

Screenshot from the Java UI:

So, for the same RunID you have two values of the variable &item#, one in upper case letters and one in lower case letters, which leads to a unique constraint violation.
 

Environment

Oracle Database
