Sqoop with oozie printing lastvalue to new line - sqoop

Question

Below is my sqoop command in oozie.
<action name="sqoop_test" retry-max="${maxretry}" retry-interval="${retryinterval}">
<sqoop xmlns="uri:oozie:sqoop-action:0.2">
<job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
<name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
<command>import --connect jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://sql01.sboxdc.com/mydb --username usr1 --password ******** --table source_table --incremental lastmodified -check-column last_modified --merge-key Id --last-value "${wf:actionData('get_last_modified_time')['last_modified_date']}" --target-dir /warehouse/external_data/sms/target_location --as-textfile </command>
</sqoop>
<ok to="end"/>
<error to="fail"/>
</action>
Above action fails as it break the last value to new line.
from logs:

How can I force the sqoop to fit 'last_value' value in single line?

As you discovered, when you use the command element, Oozie will split the command on every space into multiple arguments. If there are spaces in an argument, like the date for your last value, you should use multiple arg options instead. So it would be something like:
<action name="sqoop_test" retry-max="${maxretry}" retry-interval="${retryinterval}">
<sqoop xmlns="uri:oozie:sqoop-action:0.2">
<job-tracker>${jobTracker}</job-tracker>
<name-node>${nameNode}</name-node>
<arg>import</arg>
<arg>--conect</arg>
<arg>jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://sql01.sboxdc.com/mydb</arg>
<!--All the other arguments...-->
<arg>--last-value</arg>
<arg>"${wf:actionData('get_last_modified_time')['last_modified_date']}</arg>
<!--Other arguments...-->
</sqoop>
<ok to="end"/>
<error to="fail"/>
</action>
