Directions to apply efix:
Part A :How to install the fix (pq50758_server.jar) :

Step 1: Create a directory called "fixes" under the WebSphere root. <WebSphere root>\fixes.
	
Step 2: Copy pq50758_server.jar into the fixes directory.
         
Step 3: Edit the <WebSphere root>\bin\admin.config to add he jar file to the beginning of the Admin Server's classpath:
	
	Make the line 
            com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath=some entries.... 
        look like
	    com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath= <webSphere root>\fixes\pq50758_server.jar:some enteries....

step 4: save and close the file.

Step 5: Restart startupServer.sh, for changes to take effect



Part B: How to apply fix (pq50758_client.jar) :

Step 1: Create a directory called "fixes" under the WebSphere root. 

	<WebSphere root>/fixes.
	For e.g the root could be /usr/WebSphere/AppServer.

Step 2: Copy pq50758_client.jar into the fixes directory.
         
Step 3: Edit the $WAS_ROOT/bin/adminclient.sh to add this fix in 
	the console's path: 

Step 3.1: If the first entry in the XMLConfig.sh's class path is like...
		"WAS_CP=$WAS_HOME/other entries..."

	  then change it to look like this
		
	       "WAS_CP=$WAS_HOME/fixes/pq50758_client.jar;
	       "WAS_CP=$WAS_CP:$WAS_HOME/other entries..."
	  and save the file.
                                      
Finally bring up the admin console and check functionality.      


Additional Information:
1. After applying the above jar files, please create new model-clones configuration to test this fix.
   For the already existing corrupt model configuration, this fix may not give good results.
2. This efix replaces other earlier efixes: PQ42709, PQ49993 and PQ50922. So if you already have them
   in the configuration, then either put PQ50758 ahead of the other efixes OR use only PQ50758.
