SDL TMS 12.1 | CRQ-4829 | Job error when executing database retry strategy

Symptoms:
If a job fails to create due to a database deadlock, the database retry strategy attempts to create the job a second time but this results in a job error as the attributes for the job already exist.

Explanation:
As above, this happens when the database procedure that creates the job fails to execute due to a deadlock and, when the procedure is executed a second time, the attributes for the job already exist which results in an error.

Resolution:
The provided hotfix remedies the issue by ensuring that the job attributes are not created when the job creation procedure executes a second time.

SDL-hosted customers should contact SDL Support to arrange for this hotfix to be deployed.
