Error description

User can create MSL without any members in GUI but it's not created in TEMS - tacmd viewsystem list doesn't show it. Also, when the GUI removes the last entry from the MSL at version 6.3 fp3, the empty MSL remains live. However the MSL is removed completely with 6.3 fp4 and later. RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS: For the problem 1. 1) create MSL test from GUI do not add any MS 2) Use tacmd viewsystemlist -l test - Result doesn't show that MSL doesn't exist. For the problem 2. 1) use tacmd createsystemlist -l test - to create MSL 2) Use tacmd viewsystemlist -l test - list is shown with no assigned managed systems 3) Use tacmd editsystemlist -f -l test -a Primary:SLJ-ITM633:NT - to assign a MS 4) Use tacmd viewsystemlist -l test - to list and see the MS listed. 5) Use the GUI to remove the MS just added (as it is shown in the GUI) 6) tacmd viewsystemlist -l test results at 6.3 FP03 this list the MSL with no assigned managed systems results at 6.3 FP04 this states that the system list does not exist, and bringing up the GUI there is no longer a MSL of this name.
Local fix
For the problem 1. - Add managed systems to MSL and save. Reopen the object editor and remove the managed systems. It'll create an empty MSL in TEMS. For the problem 2. ( For 6.3 FP04 and later ), Set "KFW_CMW_REMOVE_MSL_MEMBER_EARLY" as Y. It'll not remove the empty MSL from GUI/TEMS.
