Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

In AWI version 12.0 and v12.1, you cannot save a VARA if two keys differ only in case (i.e. same characters where the only difference is the case).
Even with Oracle DB which is case sensitive.

The behavior is different in AWI and Java UI:

- In Java UI, you can save the VARA and 2 keys when using Java UI.
Below warning appears, but you still can save the VARA:

Warning: U05000028 WARNING: Scope 'File' already exists. Case-insensitive databases
(Microsoft SQL Server) replace the first entry by the second. Save anyway?

- In AWI, we can't save the VARA. there is a warning icon next to the duplicate key: "No duplicate keys allow"
 

Environment

Release:
Component: AAUTWI

Resolution

This defect has been found and fixed in:
AWI v12.0.7, Available
AWI v12.1.4, Available
AWI v12.2.1, Available
AWI v12.3.0, Available

We also updated the documentation:
Case-sensitive keys are supported.
Example: Add the keys "test" and "TEST". If your database is case sensitive, it will save both keys, otherwise, the second entry will replace the first one.
