Issue/Introduction
If a WebService REST login object's URI value contains a URL that has a question mark (?), during runtime the Webservice Agent encodes the question mark to the value '%3F', which causes the Job to Abort. See below example:
Example URI value
http://www.test.com/coresuite/test/jobs/ executions/106.json?includeLogs=false

Environment
Release : 9.3
Component : APPLICATIONS MANAGER, Automation Engine REST API 4.5.2
Cause
Known defect in RA WebService REST 4.6.0 and earlier.
Resolution
Fixed in RA.Web.Service.REST 4.6.1.
Workaround
Use Query Parameters to append the required value to the URI Endpoint value. For example:
1. Change the URI value:
From -http://www.test.com/
To - http://www.test.com/
2. Edit the Job, go to the Headers & Query Parameters
3. Add a new Query Parameter using the following value:
Parameter - includeLogs
Value - false
Notice that the URI Endpoint value will change:
From -http://www.test.com/
To - http://www.test.com/
