Unexpected error when using BACKEND VARA item with a corrupted LOGIN object

Issue/Introduction

When trying to run a BACKEND VARA which is using a corrupted (or missing) LOGIN object, an unexpected error is displayed :
U02000170 Command with RunID 'XXXXXXXX' could not be started. Error: '2 - The system cannot find the file specified.'

The VARA object is not working at all.

Environment

AWI 12.1

Cause

Instead of a missing file, this error may come from a missing object in AWI.

In this case, the LOGIN object used to run this VARA on the system was corrupted (the password was not defined).

When this error is displayed, the best way to make sure the LOGIN object is working is :
- To open it and check if anything is missing
- To use this LOGIN object in another standard VARA and see if it is working

Resolution

Login object re imported with the password.
