How to redirect Agent spool to null using envars

Products

• Workload Automation Agent

Issue/Introduction

We have a new Windows user app that is going to be scheduled and writes out thousands of lines that the support of the job says is not needed to keep (but the developers won't turn off........whatever)

Please advise how one would code an NT_job so that ENVAR STDOUT=  and/or ENVAR STDERR=  would go to NULL or NUL, (i.e. would just go off to never-never land and not be saved to the spool file)

And likewise if the syntax is different for Unix,  how to code a UNIX_JOB so that ENVAR STDOUT=  and/or ENVAR STDERR=  would go to NULL or NUL, (i.e. would just go off to never-never land and not be saved to the spool file

Note, would like to know how to use this using ENVAR STDOUT/STDERR in the job def....not how to do this inside a bat file or Unix script

 

 

Environment

Release : 11.3

Component : CA WORKLOAD AUTOMATION AGENTS

Resolution

You can code the ENVAR STDOUT in the NT_JOB and UNIX_JOB as below;

NT_JOB:

ENVAR STDOUT="> NUL"

UNIX_JOB:

ENVAR STDOUT=/dev/null
