Update status of TEMCLIENT role on VSI does not always happen correctly

Update status of TEMCLIENT role on VSI is not correct.

We found an issue using the IBM Endpoint Manager (IEM) pattern type with updating the status of the
TEMCLIENT role on a Virtual System Instance when unlinking the IEM shared service from the environment profile of the VSI.
The code of the TEMCLIENT role does not hit any exceptions, however the status is set to "green" (BigFix client installed/configured/running).
However as the BigFix client has been stopped and uninstalled at this point, the TEMCLIENT role should have been set to "yellow" indicating licensetracking on the instance is not active. However an hour later the status still gets set to "yellow" as it should (so it is eventually consistent).

Details, including logfiles, are in PMR 84683,211,788.
