After upgrading to 2020.2.6, the majority of my NCM jobs for Cisco devices have stopped working and I get a "ERROR: Transfer failure due to connection interrupt during execute script." error.
In browsing through the forums, I've seen reports of the use of variables in scheduled jobs causing that problem, but all of those posts are several years old.
I use variables pretty extensively in my jobs, so this is a pretty big problem for me.
To test it out, I ran a few of my jobs that use the ${Delay:XX} variable. When I ran a job that had that variable, I got the transfer error every time for every device. I then commented out the variable with a !, and got the same result. After I completely took out the variable, the job ran with no errors.
I then tried the same three scenarios with a number of different jobs with different Cisco devices and had the same results each time.
Has anyone else run into this?
For reference, here's the original form of one of my jobs that's failing:
install remove inactive
${Delay:240}
yes
