Abstract:  PMI client code cache invocation credential causing security failure when creating PmiClient objects in multiple WAS domains.

Description/symptom of problem:  PmiClient.java cached multiple collectors and looked nodes in another WAS domain. This causes security failure when creating PmiClient objects in multiple WAS domain. 

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 efix:  NOTE:  EFIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE AN EFIX UNLESS
 		ALL EFIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED EFIX.

Example:  If your system has efix1, efix2, and efix3 applied in that order and efix2 is to be
			 removed, efix3 must be removed first, efix2 removed, and efix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the efix location (<WASHOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/<efix#>).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
	java -jar <backup_efix#>

4) Restart WebSphere

Directions to re-apply efix:
