Is it possible to see changes to global variables in an autotrack report?
Release : 11.3.6/12.0
Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)
Setting a global variable is a sendevent call so it is tracked by autotrack. You can run an autotrack report on sendevents (-t S) to see it. You will need to include the -v argument so that the full detail of the sendevent call is included in the report. Here is an example...
autotrack -t S -v

CAUAJM_I_50152 Sendevent issued.
eoid: PL1z10000025
job_name: TEST_GV
command: sendevent "-E" "SET_GLOBAL" "-G" "TEST_GV=1"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The job_name field for a SET_GLOBAL event in the report will contain the GVAR name.
This covers SET_GLOBAL events that are sent via the sendevent command, WCC QuickView, and WCC QuickEdit.
The only thing you can't do is run autotrack specifically for SET_GLOBAL sendevent calls. You would run the report on all sendevent calls and then mine the output for what you are looking for.
