Abstract:  RMI exception with Concurrent EAR installs through XMLConfig

Description/symptom of problem:  In WAS 4.0.5 and beyond concurrent installs of EAR files through XMLConfig throws RMI exceptions.  The exception message shows error occurred in requesting the application server name.

Directions to apply fix:  1) Create temporary "Fix" directory to store the jar file:
            UNIX: /tmp/WebSphere/Fix
         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\Fix

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 

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 /Fix/PQ78179 directories.  These files are required if a Fix is to be removed.

Directions to remove fix:  NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY RE-APPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has Fix1, Fix2, and Fix3 applied in that order and Fix2 is to be removed, Fix3 must be removed first, Fix2 removed, and Fix3 re-applied.

1) Change directory to the Fix location (/Fix/PQ78179).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
   java -jar PQ78179_Fix_backup.jar

4) Restart WebSphere

Directions to re-apply fix:  Follow the instructions for applying a Fix.  If the backup files still exist (from the previous Fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.  Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.
