Issue/Introduction

A job can be setup with std_out_file / std_err_file attribute.  These files reside on the Agent. AutoSys's default retention period for job runs is 7 days. Agent's folder containing std_out_file/std_err_file could have much older files than 7 days.

Environment

Workload Automation AutoSys

Resolution

  • AutoSys archive events process archives job run info in AutoSys.  Default retention for this is 7 days.  
  • That's the reason why only those job runs can be seen via AutoSys / WCC(WebUI)
  • Agent has configurable settings for joblog / spool cleanup, but those settings allow clean up of any *joblog / spool files created in the Agent's Spool folder
  • Agent does not clean up std_out_file / std_err_file referenced files, because, that set of data created by jobs could be further used by some other down the road jobs or applications that AutoSys has no control over
  • Such std_out_file / std_err_file  need to be maintained outside of AutoSys by application teams
