Abstract: XMLConfig changes not updated in a running wscp session.Description/symptom of problem: If WSCP session has already been open and XMLConfig deletes and recreates an
application Server, the wscp session fails with:

RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:         
        java.rmi.RemoteException: ; nested exception is:                
        javax.ejb.ObjectNotFoundException                               

Directions to apply efix:
1) Create temporary "efix" directory to store the jar file:             AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/efix   Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/efix         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\efix
2) Copy jar file to the directory
3) Shutdown WebSphere
4) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear: java -jar <jarfile name>
5) Restart WebSphere
6) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.
Do not remove any files created and stored in the: <WASHOME>/WebSphere/ AppServer/efix/<efix> directories. These files are required if an efix is to be removed.

Directions to remove an efix:
NOTE:  EFIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOTREMOVE AN EFIX UNLESS ALL EFIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEENREMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED EFIX.
Example:  If your system has efix1, efix2, and efix3 applied in thatorder and efix2 is to be removed, efix3 must be removed first, efix2removed, and efix3 re-applied.
1) Change directory to the efix location: (<WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/<efix#>).
2) Shutdown WebSphere
3) Remove the Admin.config entry
  com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminServer.forceReconnect=true
4) Run the backup jar file with the following command:   java -jar <backup_efix#>5) Restart WebSphereDirections to re-apply an efix:Follow the instructions for applying an efix.  If the backup filesstill exist (from the previous efix application), you will beprompted to overwrite.  Answer "yes" at the overwrite  prompts.
