Problem conclusion

  • The problem was that at the time the federated repositories was
    being invoked, the JAVA 2 Security had not being initialized.
    The code was reviewed and updated in order to make sure that
    the JAVA2 Security has been initialized before invoking the
    Federated repositories.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.11, 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the
