"uxupd upr depcon" accepts invalid status values creating incoherent dependencies

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

The Dollar Universe uxupd upr depcon add command, used for defining Uproc (unit of production) dependencies, sometimes inconsistently accepts invalid status keywords without throwing an immediate error. Instead of rejecting the unrecognized status value, the command may successfully execute but assign an unexpected, random, or "incoherent" status (e.g., aborted or incidental) to the newly created dependency. This behavior leads to misconfigured and confusing Uproc dependencies, which can cause workflow issues.

Symptoms

• When using the uxupd upr depcon add command with a STATUS parameter not listed in the officially accepted keywords (TERMINATED, ABNORMAL, ENDED, ABSENT).
• The command does not always return an error message.
• Instead of failing, the dependency is created with an unintended and incorrect status when later viewed.

Example of Inconsistent Behavior:

• Using STATUS=COMPLETED (which is not an accepted keyword) might set the dependency status to incidental or aborted.
• Using STATUS=i might set the condition to completed.
• Using a completely random string like STATUS=cdefghijk does correctly produce an error message: "Invalid format, unauthorized response command in error!!". This highlights the inconsistency.
