APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• While performing CRUD operations through virtual member
  manager (VMM) APIs in the deployment manager profile the
  changes are reflected only in the file registry of the
  deployment manager profile and those changes are not
  replicated to all the federated nodes in the deployment
  manager.

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Changes made to the file registry at    *
  *                      deployment manager profile level are    *
  *                      not synced with the federated nodes     *
  *                      during autosync.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a user or group is created from the deployment manager
  profile those changes are not persisted and synced to the
  nodes that are federated under the deployment manager since the
  file registry file is not a configuration file. When auto sync
  service runs periodically it is not able to recognize this
  file regsitry file as a file which has been modified and
  therefore it is ignored during the auto sync process.
  

Problem conclusion

• Any changes made to the file registry of the deployment
  manager profile will now be synced to all the nodes that are
  federated under it as part of the auto sync process.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
