Error description

• After changing the test data set used in a performance test the
  performance test fails to execute with error " [CRRIT8729E]
  Agent failed to prepare a task, test compilation errors"
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Create a performance test that uses a test data set
  2. Specify the path to the data set using built in system
  variables e.g. %%PROJECT/ROOT_DIRECTORY%%/QA1.xlsx
  3. Run the performance test and confirm it works
  4. In Test Factory specify a different data set e.g.
  %%PROJECT/ROOT_DIRECTORY%%/QA2.xlsx
  5. Run the performance test
  
      The external command should be one that completes after a
  short time.
  
  3. Create a test suite to run the two tests.
      Configure the tests to run in parallel.
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  The performance test executes normally
  
  ACTUAL RESULTS:
  
  The performance test exits with
