  ****************************************************************
  The problem occurs when a DataObject is constructed
  programmatically via SDO API calls (as opposed to being loaded
  from an XML document), and copies of it are made using a
  CopyHelper. If properties of the orginal DataObject are unset,
  they may inadvertently be unset in the copies as well.
  

Problem conclusion

• The problem has been resolved such that when properties of the
  original DataObject are unset, the data in any copied
  DataObjects will be preserved.
  
  APAR PM48313 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
  Level (Fix Pack) 1.0.1.13 of WebSphere Application Server v7
  Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA) Refresh
  Pack. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
