APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PumaProfile API does not return modifyTimestamp and
  createTimestamp properties. If asking PumaProfile for the valid
  properties modifyTimestamp and createTimestamp of a principal,
  PumaProfile always returns NULL.
  
  Problem Solution:
  The APAR changes PUMA code so that it asks VMM not only for all
  properties (*) but also for modifyTimestamp and createTimestamp
  explicitly
  
  Important:
  The APAR functionality is disabled per default.
  To enable it, the following two steps have to be performed:
   - it is required to install the related WAS APAR PK95940
   - add the configuration setting to WP PumaStoreService in the
  WAS admin console under Resource Environment Provider:
      store.puma_default.returnOperationalAttributes=true
    and restart the server afterwards.
  

Local fix

• NA
