How is the job's profile file used in AutoSys?

Products

• CA Workload Automation AE - Business Agents (AutoSys)

• Workload Automation Agent

Issue/Introduction

AutoSys uses either the profile specified in the job definition or if one is not specified it defaults to the /etc/auto.profile.

 

Environment

Release:
Component: ATSYS

Resolution

If no profile is specified then the agent will source /etc/auto.profile.

If a profile is defined in the job definition then the AutoSys will source that profile. Please note that the profile MUST be in Bourne shell format.

 

Also note that the behavior is changed in the r11 version. For that version the auto.profile is always sourced and if a profile is specified in the job definition it will then source that as well.
