3489744 - SAP AS JAVA Keystore grayed out after SPS upgrade

In NWA Java KeyStore views are greyed out and the server cannot load KeyStore entries correctly.

Reasons/Prerequisites

System is updated with patches before Note 3489506, e.g. with patches from 3463481. The regression was introduced with SAP Note 3463481.

If the prerequisites are met, the system`s keystore might be corrupted and it cannot be restored by applying any SAP Note.
