PQ75775: The remote Base node fails to synchronize with Deployment Mgr

APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
This problem only occurs on the remote Base node.  The
Base node on which Deployment Manager was installed does
not have this problem.  The error gets written every
minute to the remote node's SystemOut (automatic
synchronization is scheduled for every minute).  Searched
AskQ and located pmr #82722,49R with the same error, but
the solution was to apply fixpack 1 which the customer
confirmed was applied to the two Base nodes along with
Deployment Manager.  Customer will send to weblev2 the
remote Base node's SystemOut.
