Issue/Introduction

After an upgrade on a AE instance to 12.3.4 HF1 the variable resolution performed at Worflow level is not pushed to the underlying TASKS.

2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00020206 Variable '&P_ENV#' was stored with value 'AWADS'.
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00020206 Variable '&P_VA_SETTING#' was stored with value 'VARA.AWA_REORG_UNLOAD_SETTINGS'.
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00020237 The object variable '&_HOST#' in object: 'JOBP.FOREACH.REORG.UNLOAD', line: '00003' (RunID: '0116540351') has been created with the value 'SRPLINUX.BROADCOM.COM' by  using the command :PSET.
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00020206 Variable '&_HOST#' was stored with value 'SRPLINUX.BROADCOM.COM'.
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00020408 *** SRPLINUX.BROADCOM.COM
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00011583 LOOP start with '4' iterations.
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00011584 Iteration '1' with value '0'.
2020-12-09 09:37:29 - U00007084 Error in object 'JOBS.UNIX.AWA.REORG': Login object '{&P_VA_SETTING#,&P_ENV#,3}' could not be resolved.

These sequence still worked perfectly in 12.3.1.

Cause

This is bug that was introduced in version 12.3.4

A problem has been solved where values could not be resolved when dynamic variables contained script variables (for example, {&VAR#, &KEY#}) and when they were used in attributes (for example in the "Login" field).

Environment

AE Release : 12.3.4 

 

Resolution

This bug has been fixed in version 12.3.5 (available mid of February of 2021).

Upgrade to this or the more recent AE version to have this problem fixed..
