    Description

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Create a datashare DSH-1, with zone1 and service1
      2. Now download the GDS cache for service1. Note down the gds version as well (The response has the security zone name)
      3. Now modify the zoneName to zone-test.
      4. Now check the response of GDS cache download api, it's gds version would not be incremented and it will also contain the old security zone name.
      5. Due to this the access enforcement fails.

      When the zone name is modified, then the gds version is not updated. (Because the datshare object contains the zoneID and therefore the zone name change does not affect the object)
      However, the GDS cache contains the security zone name which is used to evaluate access. 

      But this new change of zone name is not taken by the cache because the service specific gds version is not updated. And because of this the access enforcement fails for GDS policies.

      Resolution: 
      To address this issue, upon modification of the security-zone, the service-specific GDS versions for all services associated with that particular zone must be updated, if they are associated with a datashare.
