It appears that the autofile (fixture id) number does get into the log record using the 'tcm' login on version 07.2 on the 3070. Is this a known issue with 7.2, or with the 'tcm' account login?
I discovered the same thing when we attempted to use the autofile ID in logfiles and contacted Agilent about it. It's not just the tcm login, it's a problem that began at a certain software release level. I have found that the autofile ID is available in the testplan, just not in the log file. We print the autofile ID and system hostname out with fail tickets and that works fine still.
I have been told that this WILL be fixed! I think the term I heard from the support engineer on the phone was that they wouuld issue a 'hotfix'.
In the meantime, there is an official workaround (I have not tried this because it seems lame, if our data collection required it, I would.) The workaround is to unlock and lock the fixture inside the testplan, maybe try adding this cycle somewhere during the start up initialization (around version prompting, if you use that). Cycling the fixture is supposed to look up the autofile id and store it. Not sure if it is required per board or per run. Per board would be excruciatingly lame.
Just this morning I got a second, advertisement, response from Agilent informing that this issue will get fixed before the next complete software release is sent out. So this issue will get fixed.
