Issue/Introduction

Attempt to use autorep to report job information for a specific job type, File Watcher for example, gives error:

autorep -qj ALL -y FW
CAUAJM_E_50199 Invalid Job Type: FW <job type does not exist>

Cause

-y option for autorep works for custom (user defined) job types created in Autosys. This option is not for out of the box job types that exist in Autosys installation.

Resolution

To obtain jobnames of a specific job type, some scripting around autorep is needed. Below is an example for Unix (Windows platform would require appropriate scripting/parsing)

autorep -J ALL -q | grep -i "job_type: FW" | grep insert_job | awk '{print $2}'

# above shows job names of type File Watcher

autorep -J ALL -q | grep -i "job_type: CMD" | grep insert_job | awk '{print $2}'

#this is for Command job names
