P4: Unable to initialise CheckoutTask

      After a recent Perforce Server upgrade I am receiving the following errors

      ERROR: P4: Unable to initialise CheckoutTask: com.perforce.p4java.exception.RequestException: Client '<client>' can only be used from host '<host>'.

      In my pipeline the failure occurs around

          [Stage] (p4):cmd:... p4 repos -C
    [Stage] p4 repos -C
    [Stage] 
    [Stage] Client '<client>' can only be used from host '<host>'.
    [Stage] 
    [Stage] (p4):stop:8
    [Stage] P4: Unable to initialise CheckoutTask: com.perforce.p4java.exception.RequestException: Client '<client>' can only be used from host '<host>'.

      Comparing successfully completed jobs prior to the p4 server upgrade I believe the problem is caused when the P4 plugin attempts to Initialise Graph commit changes within a block that depends on the version being 2017.1 or higher CheckoutTask.java Line 109.

      Looking through the jenkins logs I can see multiple severe failures

      A current workaround has been created to bypass the P4 Plugin and use the cli instead.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated!
