****************************************************************
When the plugin-cfg.xml shows a transport with
ConnectionTTL=0, it is not a valid transport and most likely
is a duplicate of a valid transport.

Problem conclusion

If a custom property for Plugin_PersistTimeOut_Reduction (see
apar PM76420 for details on this property) is not defined, the
internal value may use 0 instead of the default value of 2 and
this causes the invalid transport to be added. Code has been
corrected to ensure correct default value.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.45, 8.0.0.15, 8.5.5.14 and 9.0.0.7.  Please
refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980

Temporary fix

Duplicate transport with ConnectionTTL="0" can be manually
removed from plugin-cfg.xml or Plugin_PersistTimeOut_Reduction
custom property can be set to 2 prior to configuration
generation.
