    <CAUAJM_E_10377 Expanded value for attribute <headers> exceeds 4000 characters. Job 'job_name' cannot start.>

Environment

AutoSys Release:  All supported releases

Cause

Due to exceeding the 4000 character limitation which is defined within the AutoSys database. As result, the job will not even attempt to start.

When the limit is exceeded, the following exception is thrown in the event_demon.<INSTANCE> log file.

<CAUAJM_E_10377 Expanded value for attribute <headers> exceeds 4000 characters. Job 'job_name' cannot start.>

Resolution

Execute the following SQL statements on the AutoSys database to set the max keyword data length to 32K.

This should prevent the error.

• DELETE ujo_meta_rules where dep_keyword='headers' AND rule_name='maxheaders';
 
• INSERT INTO ujo_meta_rules(data, dep_keyword, keyword_data, rule_name, is_esj)
 VALUES ('<NOT_NULL>', 'headers', '<MAXLEN=32000>', 'maxheaders', 0);
