Then this is a bug in CA-Unicenter, in my opinion.

If you don't use FQDN in the HOSTNAME variable, then the following
commands will not work as intended:
hostname
hostname -s (supposed to return short hostname)
hostname -f (supposed to return FQDN)
If $HOSTNAME is set to the short hostname, hostname -f will not return
FQDN.
