After upgrading to Applications Manager version 9.6 or above, RA Business Object Jobs abort with the below error:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: length for class: java.lang.StringBuilder
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.unwrap(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:66)
at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.setProperty(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:499)

at com.uc4.be.threading.AbstractWorker.run(AbstractWorker.java:367)
