Is there a limitation to length of job name in AutoSys R11

Question

Is there a limitation to length of job name in AutoSys R11. I am aware of limitation of 64 chars in normal autosys instance.

Answer 1

Yes, R11.3 has the same limitation.

Unfortunately I can not provide a link to the online documentation, but I have PDF file called "CA Workload Automation AE. Reference Guide. r11.3, Third Edition" which contains following info:

insert_job Subcommand — Add a Job to the Database

The insert_job subcommand adds a job definition to the database. Depending on the type of job you are adding, the insert_job subcommand requires one or more additional attributes.

Note: You must define the machine using the insert_machine command before you can insert a job that uses that machine. The job will not insert if the machine definition does not exist.

Syntax

This subcommand has the following format:

insert_job: job_name

job_name Defines the name of the job that you want to schedule.

Limits: Up to 64 characters; valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, period (.), underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#); do not include embedded spaces or tabs
