Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

Starting agents with the script function :MODIFY_SYSTEM("STARTUP", ...) fails sporadically although the Service Manager connection works.

No Error messages are displayed.

Restarting the Server allows the agents to be started and stopped using the Service Manager dialog and System Overview in the User Interface.  However, using the script still intermittently fails and the job containing the command reamins in a status of "Generating".
