OA54075: HOST ON-DEMAND (HOD) 12.0.1 / 12.0.2 TABBED SESSIONS FAIL TO START.

IBM Host On-Demand 12.0.3
IBM Host On-Demand 13.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• A HOD v 12.0.1  / 12.0.2 profile does not auto start all
  sessions when FTP is not pre-loaded. Only the first tab opens,
  and the cursor keeps on spinning in circle over all but the
  3270 presentation area. To re-create the issue:
  
  (1)
  Generate an HTML-based model with Web Start client HOD profile
  with 5 (FIVE) 3270 sessions set to Autostart.
  
  (2)
  Ensure that the sessions are 'tabbed' ( that is, the sessions
  do not open in a separate window)
  
  (3)
  In the 'Preload' Options, select 'Other sessions' and UNcheck
  "FTP"
  
  (4)
  Generate and load the profile to the HOD server.
  
  (5)
  Access the profile (be sure that the new cached client gets
  downloaded).
  
  (6)
  You should also notice the absence of haftpn2.jar file.
