The child of a File Event remains active

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

We noticed a problem with File Events: the child (!EVNT) of a File Event remains active if the child finishes after the MRT of the parent Event.

This happens when the Workflow triggered by the child Event is still active.

 

Reproduction:

• Create a FILE_EVENT with MRT in 5 minutes and the option 'Repeat until first match'
• Create the expected file
• Create a JOBS that runs for 10 minutes
• In the Event Process of the EVENT_FILE use ACTIVATE_UC_OBJECT with WAIT and PASS_VALUES to start the created JOBS
• Start the EVENT_FILE
• Wait until the JOBS finishes and check the status of the !EVNT

The !EVNT remains active while it should be ENDED_OK when the job ends.
