JR55114: Command-based REST service cannot update context in the database

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a REST API is a wrapper of a command that includes a
  context update, such as the 'switchContract' or 'switchTo' REST
  service,
  the update to the context is not persisted to the database after
   execution.
  
  The update is not persisted because the cache is flushed after
  executing the command, which removes all token information from
  the cache.
  

Local fix
