In this scenario, there are two servers pointing to the same database. After importing a new component version from one of the servers, it appears correctly but the same component version is empty on the other server. To see the component version on the second server, Tomcat must be restarted on that server.
Users connected to ZMF 7.1 servers from a ZDD 8.1.1 (build 500) client are not presented with the extended component user variables (UserOption101-UserOption7205/CUSR0101-CUSR7205) at component build time. Similar tests running against an 8.1 ZMF Server do show the user options.
