Error description
CMVC Defect# 164707
.
In order to use some datasources (i.e. DB2) certain native
libraries need to be loaded when the Application Server starts.
.
The problem is the native library path variable SHLIB_PATH.
No matter what we specify in the Admin Console while creating
the Datasource, instead of the new value being appended, it
overwrites the default when startServer is invoked.

current value.
