Abstract: WHEN JDBC DRIVER IS UNINSTALLED IN THE ADMIN CONSOLE, ALL JDBC CLASS FILE IS REMOVED FROM NODE CLASSPATH.
     
Symptoms of problem: 

If multiple JDBC Drivers use the same class file, when one is uninstalled (NOT removed) on the console, the class file
is removed completely from the Node classpath.  This is a problem because there are still JDBC Drivers needing the
same class file.
This eFix corrects the problem so that the class file is removed from the Node classpath only when no JDBC Driver 
references this class file. 

Customer should upgrade to latest PTF release whenever possible to avoid code conflict with eFix.

NOTE: 
Customer should upgrade to latest PTF release (3.5.6) whenever possible to avoid code conflict with eFix.
To apply eFix simply make sure the PQ63692_35x.jar file is included in the Admin Server classpath.
	
Example directions to apply efix:

1) Create "efix" directory to store the efix jar file(s):
   AIX: /usr/WebSphere/AppServer/efix
   Solaris/Linux: /opt/WebSphere/AppServer/efix
   Windows: c:\WebSphere\AppServer\efix
2) Copy PQ63692_35x.jar to the directory
3) Add the directory/jar file to the beginning of the admin server's classpath
  in admin.config:
    com.ibm.ejs.sm.adminserver.classpath=C:/WebSphere/AppServer/efix/PQ63692_35x.jar;...

4) Stop and restart the Admin Server
