Problem conclusion
The code needed to be changed so that it did not clear the job classes array when a new change was made. APAR PI47003 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service Level (Fix Pack) 8.0.0.6 of WebSphere Compute Grid 8.0 and Service Level (Fix Pack) 8.5.5.10 of WebSphere Application Server. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27022998
