Products

• ESP Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

We set up a new agent on a Windows environment, and the test NT_JOB failed SUBERROR with Status("Cannot create a file when that file already exists.") & Cmpc(183). What's wrong?

Environment

Release : 11.4 & 12.0

Component : CA ESP WORKLOAD AUTOMATION
   

Release : 11.3+

Component : CA WA SYSTEM AGENT

               

Resolution

One possible reason is that the user ID that runs the agent process may not be able to create the spool output for the NT_JOB.
