Issue/Introduction

Check file conditions with environment variable in the file name do not get evaluated properly.

Environment

Release: AAMOS499000-8.0-Automic Applications Manager-OS400 Agent
Component:

Resolution

Symptoms

If a file name in a checkfile condition contains an environment variable it will not get evaluated using "Does Not Exist" . The environment variable will get evaluated properly if it's part of the path to the file.

---

Cause

This is a change in behavior from 6.x to 8.0 because the backend stack is in java.

---

Resolution

Put curly brackets around the environment variable name in the File Name field of the condition. Don't put the curly brackets around the $ sign.

Example: The file Name field contains the following.  /home/qa4/ard/$DIST/DRC850.${DIST}.tmp

The $DIST in the path to the file does not need curly brackets around it but the $DIST in the file name does require them to be evaluated.
