Oracle Access Manager (OAM 12c) Diagnostic Log Files Show Different Values for Header Responses When User Attribute is Absent and Trace Levels are Different

OAM response is set for an LDAP attribute value.
For those use cases when the value is not present in LDAP it should set/return "NOT_FOUND"
This is only the case if the OAM Diagnostic file TRACE: is set to any value below 16
When OAM TRACE:16 or higher is set it set/returns "NULL"

Example

OAM_LOG LEVEL :- Notification:1-15

As per application specific requirement this HTTP Header value is being used. When the described scenario is present the expected value should be "NOT_FOUND". If the value is passed differently by the OAM (based -n TRACE LEVEL), the application cannot process this value
Did not have this issue with OAM 11.1.2.2.x

Changes

OAM Logger configured for value 16
