Products

• CA Workload Automation iXP

Issue/Introduction

Using IXP CLI on Windows and when using the command "ixsendevent -F filename" and getting the error as below. 

C:\Users\xxxxxx\ixp>ixsendevent -F C:\Users\xxxxxx\ixp\testjil.txt
CAUAJM_E_60044 Could not open file C:\Users\xxxxxx\ixp\testjil.txt

Whereas running the command from a Unix server, it is able to open the file and run the sendevent commands that are saved in that file.

 

Environment

Release : 11.4

Component : CA Workload Automation IXP

Cause

The iXp Client CLI commands do mimic their AutoSys CLI counterpart.
However, the actual execution of the AutoSys commands take place on the iXp server.
Therefore, the input file specified in the -F argument has to be located on the iXp server as well.

Resolution

When running "ixsendevent -F <path>\<filename>", the <path>/<filename> needs to be present on the iXp Server and not on the Client side.
