Issue/Introduction

We have several jobs that fail while retrieving global variables right after Autosys server restart.  This happens only the first time.  Once the jobs are resubmitted after a few minutes, they all complete successfully. My observation is that there may be some sort of delay with the app server fully initializing while the scheduler starts running the jobs immediately.

We migrated the autosys server from on-prem to Azure cloud.  We have noticed the issue since.  Autosys start/stop procedures hasn't changed.  

Environment

Release : 11.3.6

Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)

Resolution

Adding a delay between the start up of the AS Server and AS Scheduler processes resolved the issue.

Before
unisrvcntr start all

After
