Thank you for your response Michael
we have been manually changing alarm_if_fail: 1 to alarm_if_fail: 0 but we only so that when we have to make other changes to a job. Now I guess we will have to do the same for alarm_if_terminated.
Is there isn't an option to turn them off then so be it.
But IMHO it seems backward thinking by the system designer/developers. The default of these attributes should be "turned off" until such time a particular user want to make use of them and take steps to turn then on. We could have option in the configuration file to turn them "on" or "off" globally and use them on individual jobs as we see fit,
Your reply is very much appreciated

Hi LeRoy,
The alarm_if_fail has been there since the early days of AutoSys and the default has always been to set it to 1. The alarm_if_terminated is new with 11.3.6 SP7 and was introduced from an ideation to separate a job fail from a job that is terminated, as many clients do not want to open a ticket for a job that was manually terminated or was terminated due to a max term time being hit as it was deliberate.
If you were not getting the alarm_if_fail in you earlier environment, I would suspect that you have a jil validation exit or some other method of setting it to zero when jobs are inserted.
Regards,
Mike

Hi
We recently upgraded to CA WA AE 11.3.6, since then I have noticed all existing and new jobs have a couple of extra attributes added
alarm_if_fail: 1
alarm_if_terminated: 1
In my company we have never used alarms and don't plan to, so my questions are
how are these attributes being automatically added?
are there setting somewhere as in a configuration file that I can change to stop this happening
