Batch ID (Linux) - clarification

Products

• Autosys Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

We have specified in job definition as below which is incorrect but job is executing successfully.  We are running this job on Linux server.  Would you please check and let us know why it's running successfully even the server texesdu3 does not exist. Thanks.     

machine: test123
owner: auXXXXX@test234

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)

Resolution

AutoSys only needs to send the user portion of the user@host if the job is a command job that runs on a unix/linux platform.
So, it is not passing the @<badhost>.
The user does exist on the agent, yes?
Or is some network id that can login, yes?

Quick test:

[autosys@xx] autorep -d -J test123
