Symptoms

Running of several WLST commands decrease the version in "oam-config.xml" and previous settings in "oam-config.xml" are reverted.

What is happening:

(in this case we used below 2 WLST commands - but can be reproduced with other commands that modify entries in "oam-config.xml" also )

1. - Starting from "oam-config.xml" with version 100

2. - Running 2 "configTrustedInputs" WLST commands:
  - configTrustedInputs(name="DEFAULT_HEADER",maxSize="7003")
  - configTrustedInputs(name="DEFAULT_PARAMETER",maxSize="703")

3. - As expected, "oam-config-xml" version became 102

3b. - Also, as expected, settings for "DEFAULT_HEADER" and "DEFAULT_PARAMETER" appear in "oam-config.xml"

4. - Now, run WLST command "putStringProperty":
  - putStringProperty("/spglobal/samlrequestissuernamequalifier","http://abc.abc").

5. - Suddenly - version in "oam-config.xml" decrease to 101 (instead of the expected value - 103)

5b. - Also, settings for "DEFAULT_HEADER" and "DEFAULT_PARAMETER" DISAPPEAR from "oam-config.xml". This is happening in combination with other WLST commands that modify entries in "oam-config.xml"

This behavior is also observed in OAM Admin logs:
