Fix packs for DataPower Gateway version 2018.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You may observe a problem when replacing a Product, while its
  called frequently
  The platform REST API "product_replaceCatalogScope" (=POST
  /catalogs/{org}/{catalog}/products/{product-id}/replace) does
  not have a "transactional" behavior.
  Assumning that you have a very important API X, which must
  be available 7x24. At some time, the corresponding product must
  be replaced, maybe because of some API internals (e.g. within
  the assembly).
  During the execution of the "product_replaceCatalogScope" the
  API X  my be unavailable and you may get a 401 ("Cannot find
  valid subscriptions").
  
  This is how you reproduced the problem:
  - Call a simple API frequently within a given time interval
  e.g. 5 minute. A simple way to do it is using a postman runner
  - During the time interval replace the product of the simple
  API, either using the APIM UI, CLI or a REST API call
  

Local fix
