APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When customer demotes a page in site management, while it
  reverts back to the "old version" of the page, the old
  version seems to have the same contents as the new version.
  
  Example:
   - Page A containing portlet P1 is created on source server
   - Page A is published to target server
   - Page A is promoted on target server
   --> User on target portal can see page A containing portlet P1
   - Portlet P2 is added to page A on source server
   - Page A is published to target server
   - Page A is promoted on target server
   --> User on target portal can see page A containing both
  portlets P1 and P2
   - Page A is demoted on target server
   --> ERROR: User still can see both portlets P1 and P2 on page A
  on target server
