Issue/Introduction

A job fails and the FAILURE event contains a message that reads "Aborted, code FFFFFFFF".

Environment

Release: ATSYHA99000-11.3.6-Workload Automation AE-High Availability Option
Component:

Cause

This occurs when the job's command exits with a negative return code. The default agent configuration does not have the necessary parameter set to allow the agent to handle negative return codes.

Resolution

In the agentparm.txt file on the agent machine where the job runs, add the following parameter...

oscomponent.cmpc.negative=true

Stop and restart the agent after making the change.
