Job failed. Exit code 1, Status: "Incorrect function"

[Legacy User]

This is really very unhelpful. there is no information on why exactly the job fails. the incorrect function message isn't even from the actual command that the job executes..its some weird message from the agent side.

 

I thought I saw a readme or something that addressed this issue in the latest version of the agent, but maybe I am wrong..

You can thank Windows for this one. The agent is simply returning the exit code supplied by Windows.

This can be seen if you open a command prompt and run: net helpmsg 1

 

In my experience this is most commonly seen when running VBScript via the agent. Usually requires a bit of troubleshooting. If you want, open a case with CA Support and we will do our best to help narrow the problem down.

I narrowed it down to the an incorrect value in the agent profile…now it complains that a few other variables needed by the ps adapter are not set…trying to work through those

Hi,

 

We are having similar issue where a simple test job to run "date /T" command fails on the Windows agent machine, could you please share the root cause for this?

 

Regards,

Santosh

[Steve Carrobis]

For *nix

Just do

/bin/true

For windows

set

 

 

It is that easy.

Good luck

 

Steve C.

Thanks for your quick response Steve

 

I just ran the test job with the command as "set" but it's the same issue

[Rick Romanowski]

Does replacing  "date /T" with "echo %date%" resolve your issue?

[Steve Carrobis]

check your agent parm.txt settings for prefixcmd etc.

sounds to me you have an old resolved issue. 

oscomponent.cmdprefix.force=true

oscomponent.profiles.src.delay=false

[Mark_Hanson]

another agentparm.txt parameter to check is:

oscomponent.lookupcommand=true

 

make sure it is set to true

[Steve Carrobis]

Geez and I thought I copied that one too.

I do wish that many of these should be out of the box for AutoSys installs.

These are indeed default with AutoSys installs. Even the common Agent installer (since SP4) media has an install time option to choose AutoSys compatibility

 

 

Cheers,

Chandru

 

P.S: Sent from Android phone, please pardon any typos.

[Steve Carrobis]

Chandru,

 

Regardless of compatibility or not , the install sets certain variables to true that disabled the profile attribute. Namely the src.delay.

That should never be turned on for autosys as it disabled profile attribute, which is a mistake in my mind.

 

Thank you
