Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
U00052002 Object '{VARA.ENV_INFO.SETTINGS,DB_CONNECTION,1}' with type 'CONN' does not exist in client '08000'.

In an SQL VARA, in field Connection, variables with curly brackets {} are not resolved.  When the Preview button is clicked, an error is displayed:

The STATIC VARA named VARA.ENV_INFO.SETTINGS contains one row:

<Please see attached file for image>

For example, as can be seen from the error message above, the {} variable is not resolved, but the whole expression from { to } is taken as name and searched in the DB as connection object.

In older versions of Automation Engine, the {} variable is resolved correctly and it works, see:
