Description

Currently user can't parametrize the name attribute of workflow or bundle.
As a result, user needs to write a lot of xml with different names where content is same.

Reason: Oozie does not support variable replacement for name and frequency.
(<workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.2" name="${name}">
But it supports substitutions for other parameters such as timezone, start and end.

It gives an XML schema error, cvc-pattern-valid: Value '${name}' is not a facet-valid with respect to pattern....

If this replacement is allowed we could get this name from the .properties file instead of hardcoding the app name in
the xml.
