Issue/Introduction
Error Message : U0011347 For object 'PREP_PROCESS(DOUBLE_PROCESS_EXAMPLE.COPY,0001171776)' (RunID '0001171779') in login object 'LUL.UNIX.TEST1' there is no matching host called 'VWASWT01_OS_01' ('WINDOWS').
The combination of a PREP_PROCESS command on a Unix agent and PREP_PROCESS command on a windows-agent afterward lead to a problem, that the second command uses the login object of the first command.
When there are multiple calls of PREP_PROCESS in a script with different login objects, the login object of the first call may be used by the second call. This generally results in an error because the object has no login information and you will see the above error.
This behavior was seen when a Unix event job is followed by a Windows event job. It occurs both in script objects as well as in script tabs of file transfers.
Cause type: Defect Root Cause: The combination of a PREP_PROCESS command on an unix-agent and a PREP_PROCESS command on a windows-agent afterwards leads to a problem, that the second command uses the login-object of the first command.
