Issue/Introduction

 

  • After upgrading or using newer versions of the Automic Automation Engine (e.g., version 24.4.5), the File Transfer (FT) report no longer displays the execution RunID on every individual message line.

  • In earlier versions (such as 24.4.4), the RunID was consistently shown as a prefix in the messages of the FT report.

  • Previous Behavior Example:

[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063097 FT '[RunID]': Initiating connection to Agent '[AgentName]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063013 FT '[RunID]': Connecting to '[IP_Address]' at port '[Port]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063092 FT '[RunID]': Connection to Agent '[AgentName] (socket handle = '[SocketHandle]')' was successfully established.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063087 FT '[RunID]': Selection started with filter '[SourcePath]\*' ...
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063088 FT '[RunID]':   '[SourcePath]\[FileName_1].txt'
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063088 FT '[RunID]':   '[SourcePath]\[FileName_2].txt'
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063088 FT '[RunID]':   '[SourcePath]\[FileName_3].txt'
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063089 FT '[RunID]': Files selected: '[Count]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063091 FT '[RunID]': Directories selected: '[Count]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011133 OK    '[Size]' Bytes, '[Count]' Records for file '[SourcePath]\[FileName_1].txt'->'[DestinationPath]\[FileName_1].txt' transferred. Duration '[Time]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011133 OK    '[Size]' Bytes, '[Count]' Records for file '[SourcePath]\[FileName_2].txt'->'[DestinationPath]\[FileName_2].txt' transferred. Duration '[Time]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011133 OK    '[Size]' Bytes, '[Count]' Records for file '[SourcePath]\[FileName_3].txt'->'[DestinationPath]\[FileName_3].txt' transferred. Duration '[Time]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011408 FT '[RunID]': File Transfer has ended normally.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U02000486 FT '[RunID]': '[Count]' files ([Size] B), directories '[Count]' transferred successfully. File selection time '[Time]', Connect time: '[Time]', Average transfer speed: '[Speed]', Processing time: '[Time]', Wait time: '[Time]', Total duration: '[Time]'.

  • Current Behavior Example: 

[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063106 Initiating connection to Agent '[AgentName]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063108 Connecting to '[IP_Address]' at port '[Port]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U02000006 Connection to Agent '[AgentName] (socket handle = '[Handle]')' was successfully established.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011124 Selection started with filter '[SourcePath]\*' ...
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011125   '[SourcePath]\[FileName].txt'
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011126 Files selected: '[Count]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063061 Directories selected: '[Count]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00011133 OK    '[Size]' Bytes, '[Count]' Records for file '[SourcePath]\[FileName].txt'->'[DestinationPath]\[FileName].txt' transferred. Duration '[Time]'.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U00063176 File Transfer has ended normally.
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] - U02000506 '[Count]' files ([Size] B), directories '[Count]' transferred successfully.

  • The absence of the RunID in every line may make it appear to users as an incompatible change or a missing feature.

 

Environment

 

  • Automic Automation Engine.

  • Java OS Agent.

  • Component Versions: 24.4.4, 24.4.5, and v26.

 

Cause

 

  • This is not a software bug; the change is the expected outcome of a deliberate code change implemented to resolve defect DE180256.

  • Historically, the Java OS Agent exhibited inconsistent behavior compared to other agents (such as the BS2000 Agent and OS400 Agent), which already formatted reports without redundant prefixes.

  • Repeating the RunID on every single line of an FT report was deemed unnecessary.

 

Resolution

 

  • No workaround or fix is required as the current format is the intended design.

  • Under the updated design rules for FT Reports, standard lines within an FT report must not be prefixed with the RunID, as the context is already obvious.

  • The RunID will now only be displayed in the dedicated, concluding messages of the FT report.

  • Please note that the rule for the FT status in the system log remains unchanged: all log messages referring to a File Transfer must continue to be prefixed with the RunID.
