****************************************************************
Normally, OSGi temporary directories are deleted after use
by the shutdown hooks code running in each OSGi process;
however, there are circumstances where these shutdown hooks
are not run. An example where shutdown hooks are not run is
when a server is terminated abnormally rather than by
normal server shutdown mechanisms such as the stopServer
command.

Problem conclusion

As part of fixpack installs, an OSGi script (osgiCfgInit) is
run to "clean" the OSGi environment. Now, with this change,
whenever the osgiCfgInit script is run, any OSGi temporary
directories under <PROFILE_HOME>/temp/osgi_instance_location
will be deleted. Users may also run osgiCfgInit manually
at their discretion if they feel this temp space is growing
to large. Note: all java processes must be shutdown when
running the osgiCfgInit script manually. Since this fix is
not available for V6.1 users, these directories must be
deleted manually via normal operating system commands
(all java processes must be stopped).

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.19 and 8.0.0.1.  Please refer to the
