  ****************************************************************
  When an application is being deployed on more than one targets
  using Monitored Directory Deployment method, not all the
  targets were being synchronized. Due to which the application
  distribution process seemed to hang until the next node
  synchronization cycle.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been fixed to synchronize all the targets on
  which the application is deployed. This will not hang the
  application distribution process anymore.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.3 .
