APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If a user is logged in and another user (e.g. an admin) changes
  the user's profile data using PUMA API, these changes might not
  be visible to first user immediately.
  This affects personalization as well as personalization rules
  work on current user's profile.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If a user is logged in and another user (e.g. an admin) changes
  the user's profile data using PUMA API, these changes might not
  be visible to first user immediately.
  This affects personalization as well as personalization rules
  work on current user's profile.
  

Problem conclusion

• The cause of the problem is that the user object held in
  session is not updated if another user is making the updates.
  Solution is that all getCurrentUser() methods always try to
  use the common user object from cache.
