AWI - Default objects (JOBS/JOBP) are created with content instead of being empty on a specific Client

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

When creating JOBP/JOBS there may already be a Job in it.

It happens on one client only.

Environment

Release : 12.2

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Cause

What needs to be checked on the same client :

- In UC_OBJECT_TEMPLATE, check if the corresponding lines (JOBP.STANDARD, JOBP.IF, ...) have been changed (by default, they are set to JOBP).

- Check if an object has been created with the default name (e.g JOBP). 

If an object has been created with the same name than the template one (on Client 0, in the Template folder), then it will be used on this Client as the template.

Resolution

Remove the new JOBP created or revert the line in UC_OBJECT_TEMPLATE

 

Make sure that every user is aware that no JOBP/JOBS should be created with the same name that the template ones.
This is why at a Job creation there is always a suffix (JOBP.NEW for example).
