Abstract:  Binary not get copied to all nodes while deploying application to dynamic cluster via console.

Description/symptom of problem:  
JR25291 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
The problem was that the applications were not being expanded in
the correct location after an application install.              
This was because the tasklist that AppBinaryProcessor maintains 
did not have the task that does this function.                  
                                                                
com.ibm.ws.sca.internal.deployment.SCATaskProvider was being    
added to the list as one of the extensions.                     
This initialization process never finished and the thread was   
hung.                                                           
                                                                
This left the task list incomplete and caused problems          
downstream                                                      

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
none, manual copy                                               

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
WebSphere Process Server 6.0.1.x
Network Dispatch Users with Portal Server.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Binary not get copied to all nodes
while deploying application to dynamic
cluster via console.

RECOMMENDATION:
Use the iFix JR25291

The applications were not being expanded in the correct
location after an  application install.  This was because the
tasklist that AppBinaryProcessor maintains did not have the
task that does  this function.
com.ibm.ws.sca.internal.deployment.SCATaskProvider was being
added to the list as one of the extensions. This initialization
process never finished and the thread was hung.

This left the task list incomplete and caused problems
downstream.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
Made corresponding changes in ALConfig.java of                  
ArtifactLoaderImpl package.
