Issue/Introduction

When running a job with std_out_file or std_err_file set, an error is seen

FAILURE 

 <Error redirecting stdout file> 

 

 

Environment

Workload Automation Agents

Cause

Job Owner should have RW access to std_out_file and std_err_file values defined

Resolution

Validate all the permissions for Job Owner to the folder/directory where the std_out_file and std_err_file location is.  

In this case, job owner did not have write  permissions to create those files in the location defined (the location could be an environment variable being obtained by sourcing a profile file the job is set with, so identifying the correct folder path and file name are key).  Work with system admins to fix the permissions and then retry the job
