Cannot acces Repository Configurations via script unless have accessed them via UI first

[GeorgeMcGeachie]

I have a problem with a VB Script that includes the following code:

Set C = RepositoryConnection
output "Connected to Repository - connection is " & C
output "Connected? = " & C.Connected
output "Config count = " & C.Configurations.count & vbcrlf

C.Refresh()
C.CleanLocalCache()

for each config in C.Configurations

... do stuff

for each mdl in config.Members

.... do stuff

The problem is strange - the code can't always access the configurations and their models, and reports a count of zero. I find that I have to access the Configurations via the UI before they're available to the script. I've tried refreshing and clearing the cache (see above), but that doesn't help.

Actually, it's worse. If I don't access an given Configuration via the UI, the script cannot access the Model Versions in the Configuration - the value of config.Members.count is zero.

I've raised this with SAP Support
