ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
Ideally the checkers should not be called during the syncNode   
operation.                                                      
The same change with WPSExtensionChecker.java needs to be       
applied to the                                                  
following checkers too.                                         
SOACoreExtensionChecker.java                                    
BPCExtensionChecker.java                                        
ESBExtensionChecker.java                                        
The fix involves a filter to ensure that versioncheck is not    
performed                                                       
during syncNode operation.                                      

LOCAL FIX:
