AWI Messages Window:

U00010038 Runtime error: Could not create data sequence 'FILETRANSFER'. Status: '0000001800', return code: '0000000000'.
U00029007 Not all blocks (Limit '120') have been transferred from file '/path/filename'.

 

Environment

Product: Automic Workload Automation

Component: Automation Engine

Version: 21, 24

Cause

PRE_PROCESS command is printing out thousands of lines and AE can not handle printing thousands of lines.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

• Create a file with 200000 lines in it - it can be something like /path/filename
  • $ mkdir scripts
  • $ cd scripts
  • $ touch script.sh
  • $ echo seq 1 200000 > /path/filename
  • $ chmod -R 777 
  • $ ./script.sh
• Run a PRE_PROCESS command in a job that cat's the file:
  :      SET &HND_CMD_COUNT# = PREP_PROCESS(&agent#,UNIXCMD,,"CMD=cat /path/filename","UC_LOGIN=&login#")

Resolution

Use PROCESS instead of PRE_PROCESS and execute OS command.

 

Example:

• Create a file with 200000 lines in it - it can be something like /path/filename
  • $ mkdir scripts
  • $ cd scripts
  • $ touch script.sh
  • $ echo seq 1 200000 > /path/filename
  • $ chmod -R 777 
  • $ ./script.sh
• Run a PROCESS command in a job that cat's the file:
  • cat /path/filename
