Error description

• PMI settings do not work in
  datacollector_global_custom.properties
  
  When PMI settings (am.was6custompmi.settings.1=..., etc) are
  specified in datacollector_global_custom.properties, they do not
  take effect.When exactly the same
  datacollector_global_custom.properties file is copied to
  datacollector_custom.properties in the app server "custom"
  directory, the PMI settings requested work as expected. BTW, the
  same problem exists for distributed datacollectors!
  
  I ran through all the unit  tests for this feature on the
  toolkit and everything worked just fine.  However, when it is
  run with the shared data collector, there is one situation that
  fails. Any property in datacollector_global_custom.properties
  will be applied to all DCs except if a property of the same name
  already exists in the server datacollector.properties.
  
  The datacollector.properties file that is distributed with the
  product contains two PMI properties
  
  am.was6custompmi.settings.1=threadPoolModule=3,4
  am.was6custompmi.settings.3=servletSessionsModule=7,17,6,14,9,1,
  11,10,13,12,2,4,8,15,16
  
  Any other PMI modules can be overridden in global except these
  two.
  The native toolkit loads all properties files in a predefined
  order (global, base, local) and does not overwrite a property
  that already exists.  The DC reads the properties files but does
  not honor that order properly.
  

Local fix

• The only  workaround  is to supply these two properties in the
  local rather than the global template.
  

Problem summary

• Global datacollector properties do not override
  datacollector,properties if property already exsists.
  

Problem conclusion

• Order of property files merge is corrected.
  

Temporary fix
