Delaying my own process to automount an external storage which start at boot

I would like to implement my own process into a CentOS7 operating system which automount an external storage (AVID ISIS for this example) at boot through systemd.

To do that, I scripted the mount procedure (because I cannot use fstab in this particular case, the avidfos command provided by AVID is needed) but I have noticed that my process failed at boot. When I run it just after the boot process manually, everything works fine.

After some reseach on systemd, I have tried to use "After=" and "Wants=" unit directives on network.target and also network-online.target but anything change.

This is a screenshot of my very simple process (without "After=" / "Wants=" directives):

[Unit]
Description=Automount ISIS storage

[Service]
Type=idle
ExecStart=/root/.SCRIPTS/automountISIS.sh
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-users.target

Here is the ExecStart script :

mount.avidfos [ISIS-HOSTNAME]/SWAP_PULSE-IT /srv/SWAP_PULSE-IT -o credentials=/root/.CREDENTIALS/.credentialsISIS,uid=997,umask=700

My questions are :

Are we agree than if "Wants=" / "After=" directives does not work, then it means that network.target and network-online.target are not the only services needed ?
If yes, is there any procedure to know which processus is missing at boot ?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
