Error description
Issue: HOD administrator is testing out the new HOD v 15.0.0 release. After successfully upgrading from v14.0.4 to v15 he launched a HOD session from desktop which upgraded to v15. HOD administrator uninstalled HOD v 15.0.0 from the server via the uninstall command. Then re-installed v 14.0.4 via Installation Manager; HOD directory had to be manually deleted as it would not install otherwise. HOD administrator restored the HOD directory from a backup created prior to the HOD v 15.0.0 upgrade. HOD administrator added the additional HTML parameter AutoBackOff = true to the session. When launching the HOD session from the desktop, HOD does not downgrade and it is still shows HOD v 15.0.0. HOD administrator knows how to manually correct it but that is not a solution at the enterprise level. If HOD administrator were to need a downgrade from HOD v 15.0.0 it should be as seamless to the end user as possible. This was working when upgrading to HOD v 14.0.4
Local fix
Problem summary
Host On-Demand fails to downgrade Host On-Demand clients when we set AutoBackOff HTML parameter to true.
Problem conclusion
When a user sets AutoBackOff to true, ideally HOD clients should get synched up with the Host On-Demand Server version, but this fails. The Client does not get downgraded/synced up with Host On-Demand Server version. . Code changes have been made to fix this issue.
Temporary fix
