Upgrade to WebSphere Application Server v7.0.0.3 for Rational Application Developer v7.5.x using the Installation Manager:Updater, resolved this problem.

Note: This Timer related APAR fix in WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.3 for single interval timers, along with other non-APAR defect fixes may have contributed to the resolution. If upgrading to the latest available WebSphere Application Server 7.0.0.x FixPack does not help, you may have a new issue and
IBM Support for WebSphere Application Server should be contacted.
