Deprecated and Unsupported Script 12.2

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

Are the following script functions supported in 12.2.2? These used to work in older versions:

SYS_ACT_JPNAME
SYS_ACT_JPNR
SYS_ACT_JOBNAME
SYS_ACT_JOBNR

When used in a child job of a workflow, the following results in an error after migrating to V12.2.2:


:SET &PNMBR# = SYS_ACT_JPNR()

:SET &GPNAME# = SYS_ACT_JPNAME(&PNMBR#)

Result: 

U00020501 Runtime error in object '%', line '0002': Statement has only '001' current parameters


The following adjustment provides a successful execution, and returns the workflow name:

:SET &PNMBR# = SYS_ACT_JPNR()

:SET &GPNAME# = SYS_ACT_JPNAME()

Environment

Any 12.x+ environment

Resolution

Some of the below functions may still allow jobs/scripts to execute successfully, while some may no longer work or require modification in order to run. In any event, these functions are *not* supported from V9 onward and if issues arise, they will need to be replaced. Reference the linked documentation, or the list below:
