Autosys Global variable Issue

[Racham Venkat]

Hi all,

We have autosys job to set the value for the global variable as a date pattern(YYYYMMDD) value on daily basis. After setting the value to the global variable the file watcher jobs starts looking for the file as eg: filename_20170322.dat at specified location (considering todays date as an example). The file is available for todays date but the filewatcher job is running long time and keep running with Status RU. After we looked at log, the file watcher job is looking for filename_20170321.dat. Here is the problem/issue which couldn't get why the file watcher job is looking for yesterdays dated file even after the global value value is set with todays date.

If someone has encountered please let me know the resolution for this issue.

Thanks in advance!

In all probability the file watcher was launched before the global variable was set. Can you paste logs global variable value and the start time of filewatcher?
