Maximo Mobile error "The server is correct, but the app is not available" appears after the server is restarted

Troubleshooting


Problem

The following error can occur for the first user who attempts to log in to Maximo Mobile after a server restart.
The server is correct, but the app is not available. Contact your Administrator
Subsequent attempts to use Maximo mobile work until the server is restarted, when the problem could return.
 

Symptom

Error:  The server is correct, but the app is not available. Contact your Administrator

Cause

Time is needed for caching for the first attempt to reach  http(s)://maximoserver/maximo/api/graphite/mobile/packages/MOBILELOGIN.  When the request times out, the error appears.

Diagnosing The Problem

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Maximo Mobile select Reset app
2. Restart the Maximo server
3. Launch Maximo Mobile and enter Maximo URL

Actual Result: Error appears
Expected Result: After URL is entered it should proceed to login.

Resolving The Problem

When the first person logs in there is a lot of caching that occurs.  All subsequent attempts to use Maximo mobile for the same user and other users are successful.  If the user did not reset their app and has access Maximo mobile before, the error does not appear.
Workaround: 
Access the following URL from a browser after restart.  
The http(s)://maximoserver/maximo/api/graphite/mobile/packages/MOBILELOGIN request is taking 30+ seconds after the restart.
