Description

CTM-13029PACTV.9.0.21.306

SMART folder and regular folder orders that are initiated by job If-Actions are incorrectly ignored when the %%INTO_TABLE_ORDERID system variable value is LEGACY and the Unique Flow option is selected.

CTM-13074PACTV.9.0.21.306

Jobs fail to execute and appear to be waiting for a Control resource even though the resource is available when the job definitions contain a %%NODEID system variable. The following error message appears in the CE process log:

0625_16:33:25.568, "Job (10/0000a) - Job's original nodeid <NODEID> has been replaced to <NODEID>, as a result of %%NODEID. Sent back to wet check", [FINER], T@3017, T:ctm.Selector.IO.3017, "SL Job (10/0000a)", , com.bmc.ctms.selector.entity.Submit, Submit::doSubmit, ,

CTM-13163PACTV.9.0.21.306

Cyclic jobs in a SMART folder, whose Keep folder for scheduling attribute checkbox is selected, fail to execute after the New Day procedure when the RUN_CYCLIC_AFTER_NEW_DAY_OLD_MODE Control-M/Server configuration parameter is set to Y.

CTM-13237PACTV.9.0.21.306

After a workload policy, which is defined to restrict job runs to 0 with a Between (specific date and time) date type, is activated, jobs wait indefinitely with a job status of Wait Workload outside of the time frame defined in an active workload policy that is defined to restrict job runs to 0. The following message appears in the Output tab:

Job <Job_Name> is waiting for the workload policy jobs limit to be allowed.

CTM-2822

PACTV.9.0.21.305

Workload Policies incorrectly remain active when they are outside of their defined active time range.

CTM-10074PACTV.9.0.21.305Jobs that are submitted for execution through a Network Load Balancer Router might remain in Pre-Execution status for a long period of time.
CTM-11858PACTV.9.0.21.305Jobs that use LIBMEMSYM variable lists are submitted without variables.
CTM-12024PACTV.9.0.21.305

Control-M/Server incorrectly interprets newlines as four characters long, instead of one, in if-action email notification body text. If the body of an email contains x newlines + y characters, this is interpreted as 4x newline characters + y characters, and the maximum 4,000-character limit is quickly exceeded. This causes the New Day procedure to freeze at the download stage when the job is ordered. The following error appears in the Control-M/EM Gateway log:

ERROR: value too long for type character varying(4000).

CTM-12080

PACTV.9.0.21.305

A job that is ordered by an If-Action that is set to Run Job and Ignore Scheduling Criteria, and is ordered on the same Control-M/Server as the original job, is ordered into the wrong folder when the %%INTO_TABLE_ORDERID variable of the action is set to LEGACY.

CTM-12231PACTV.9.0.21.305The ctmvar utility fails to create a new variable when it temporarily fails to add an entry in CMR_DBLOG database table.
CTM-12512PACTV.9.0.21.305

The job order is delayed when the job ordered via a different job what-if action order on a remote Control-M/Server and the name of this job contains one or more spaces..

CTM-12677PACTV.9.0.21.305Order requests, such as ctmorder, ctmudly, and ctmudchk, that are executed via CLI on the Control-M/Server host, via Control-M Web, or internally on in Control-M/Server as part of the New Day procedure might never complete, even though all jobs are ordered. This might occur when there is an unexpected issue with Kafka.
CTM-12762PACTV.9.0.21.305Control-M/Server fails to order jobs when they include an auto-edit variable value that contains an ' (apostrophe).
