Open-Document/Close-Document fail with "Object does not match target type"
Description
After powerJobs Processor has been running jobs for a while, calling Open-Document/Close-Document fails with "Object does not match target type" and all succeeding jobs fail with the same error message.
Cause
This happens due to some very specific interaction between VaultInventorServer, the powerJobs Processor timed restart of VaultInventorServer and the restart of VaultInventorServer by Autodesk jobs
