You can also use shell action to generate timestamp in format you want and pass to the next action as parameter. I do agree it should be easier.

I.e.: 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45Z I don’t like the fact that that there are no Oozie String Format EL functions where u can format the DATE as you want. See if this works for you . Else you have top pass a param when u submit the Oozie job and append that param to the Oozie workflow ID inside the workflow.XML oozie job -oozie http://oozie_server:11000/oozie -config job.properties -D START_TIME=$(date +%Y_%m_%dT%H_%M_%S) -run Inside your workflow.xml ===================== <property> <name>mapreduce.job.name</name> <value>MyJobName_${wf:id()}_${START_TIME}</value> </property> Thanks sanjay From: 李宏展 <lihongzhan...@gmail.com<mailto:lihongzhan...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "user@hive.apache.org<mailto:user@hive.apache.org>" <user@hive.apache.org<mailto:user@hive.apache.org>> Date: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 7:43 AM To: "user@hive.apache.org<mailto:user@hive.apache.org>" <user@hive.apache.org<mailto:user@hive.apache.org>> Subject: how to config the job id in oozie when i submit a workflow,oozie return a jobid like this 0000002-130903214537362-oozie-*.
