APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

When updating entity with property ibm-jobTitle or
ibm-primaryEmail, if propertyExtension repository is configured,
virtual memory manager (VMM) failed to separate these two
properties from changeSummary and sent them to both Ldap and
propertyExtension repository, which caused update() to fail
with a NoSuchAttributeException or NullPointerException.

****************************************************************
If property extension repository is configured, when updating
property ibm-jobTitle or ibm-primaryEmail defined in Ldap or
property extension repository, VMM update API failed with
NoSuchAttributeException thrown from Ldap repository or
NullPointerException thrown from property extension repository.

Exception from Ldap repository:

Problem conclusion

This exception was caused by VMM sending ibm-jobTitle or
ibm-primaryEmail update to Ldap or property extension
repository not correctly. The problem has been fixed and such
attributes can be updated with VMM successfully.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 6.1.0.29 and 7.0.0.9.  Please refer to the
