Failed to get Credential in Azure Automation Runbook

Question

I am trying to do a basic database operation using azure runbook (Code below). It is failing when I test it on Azure cloud. Error -

By doing a line by line execution, I found out that this error is caused by Get-AutomationPSCredential . However, the entire code is working fine when I run it from PowerShell ISE in my local system.

workflow sqlrunbook()
{
    $SqlServer = "devserver001.database.windows.net"
    $Database = "devdb001"

    $SqlCredential = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name 'SqlCredentialAsset'

    # Get the username and password from the SQL Credential
    $SqlUsername = $SqlCredential.GetNetworkCredential().UserName
    $SqlPassword = $SqlCredential.GetNetworkCredential().Password

    inlinescript
    {        
        $Conn = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Server=tcp:$using:SqlServer;Database=$using:Database;User ID=$using:SqlUsername;Password=$using:SqlPassword;")

        $Cmd = New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("insert into TestTable(ID) values(1)", $Conn)

        $Cmd.CommandTimeout=120

        $Conn.Open()        
        $Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        $Conn.Close()
    }
}
sqlrunbook

Can you please let me know if I missed anyting while creating credential or should I enable any configuration to test this run book on Azure cloud? Thank in advance.

try this :

Get-AzureAutomationCredential -AutomationAccountName "Contoso17" -Name "MyCredential"
