Problem:
In a migrated instance from 4.5 with job dependencies, we deleted one such dependency and receive multiple errors in the event_demon logs:
CAUAJM_I_40245 EVENT: EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCY JOB: <job_name> **Deleted**
The message is informational and should have no affect on running jobs, but can fill up the logs quickly.
Environment:
CA Workload Automation AE 11.3.5/11.3.6 on any OS
Cause:
A change in the way these dependencies were saved in 4.5 causes the event entry to remain in the ujo_event table. These events are seen by the Scheduler and reported in the event_demon log.
Resolution:
This is fixed in r11.3.6 INCR1 CUM1 and later releases but can be resolved on a per-case basis by doing the following:
Log in to the database as 'aedbadmin' and issue the following SQL statement where <job_name> is the name of the job as seen in the logs:
delete from ujo_event where event=127 and job_name=<job_name>;
