Banner Agent - Banner components not selecting parameters and printers from the correct agent

Products

• CA Automic Applications Manager (AM)

Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

Banner components fail to select the correct parameters and printers from the correct Agent.

For example, the Banner Tab of a component that is assigned to Agent A, when selecting 'User Name' in the Parameter Set field, the Users listed is from Agent B instead of Agent A.

Stopping Agent B and having only Agent A running and repeating the test, we are thrown an "Unable to contact agent. Agent must be running to access data" error.

Note that both Banner Agent A and Banner Agent B, are running against the master's local agent.

There are multiple scenarios where this can occur.
