Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of eXtreme Scale who are using    *
  *                  COPY_TO_BYTES with eXtremeIO known as       *
  *                  eXtreme Data Format (XDF) and their keys    *
  *                  implement Externalizable or provide         *
  *                  readObject and/or writeObject.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The same key inserted into two          *
  *                      domains that do Multi Master            *
  *                      Replication did not translate to each   *
  *                      other correctly.                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  For keys that have custom serialization (instead of using the
  default XDF serialization), the XDF function was updated to
  translate them correctly.  Additionally, it was discovered
  that enum fields also had this same issue and that was fixed
  as well.
  

Problem conclusion

• An interim fix is available for this APAR.
