We have a macro set up under 'Advanced search » Search macros', it takes 3 parameters (host, neighborIP, days). To run it from the search box in Splunk I simply put `my_macro(*,*,31)` which works fine. When I try to run this using the Java SDK I get the message "Unknown search command 'host'."
Below is the relevant part of the code
...
jobArgs.setExecutionMode(JobArgs.ExecutionMode.NORMAL);
JobCollection jobs = service.getJobs();
Job job = jobs.create("`my_macro(*,*,31)`", jobArgs);
Needless to say I'm new to Splunk and I may be being a bit dumb but, I can't seem to find information about executing macros with parameters from the SDK in the splunk documentation.
Any help would be very much appreciated
You may need to prepend the search
command to your search job. In the web interface this is done implicitly.

Thanks very much.
For anyone else with the same issue I changed the command to :
Job job = jobs.create("search `my_macro(*,*,31)`", jobArgs);
