Description/symptom of problem: 

This description is based on L3SM testing with DB dump obtained from the customer.Confirmed problem scenario with 
system management architect and also looked at past problems associated with this code. There are several
reports of repository corruption associated with the call tounilateralCommit(). It has the effect of committing
the transaction eventhough the application may be in the middle of a complex operation on the repository and may 
have made several updates and still have several more to do. This has a tendency of causing WAS repository 
inconsistencies (what is popularly known as corrupt repository).
