  ****************************************************************
  After an application is deployed and saved in a deployment
  manager environment, an ADMA7021I message is logged in the
  SystemOut.log of a deployment manager even when the
  application is not distributed on this node.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been fixed to replace the ADMA7021I message with a
  new ADMA7105I message when an application does not target to
  the deployment manager node:
  
  ADMA7105I: The defaultApplication application is saved but is
  not distributed because no server is targeted on this node.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix packs 8.5.5.17 and 9.0.5.3.  Please refer to the
