  WebSphere Intelligent Management ITLM signature files may not
  appropriately reflect the classification of a binary install
  instance when multiple profiles have been configured to share
  a single binary installation. The WebSphere Intelligent
  Management ITLM signature files are dynamically altered based
  upon the types of processes configured on a particular profile
  but the current logic does not account for multiple profiles
  sharing a single binary installation. Therefore even the
  start-up order of the profiles can effect the ITLM signature
  file classification.
  

Problem conclusion

• The logic used for dynamic WebSphere Intelligent Management
  ITLM signature file classification has been altered to account
  for multiple profiles sharing a single binary installation,
  allowing the signature files to always accurately reflect the
  classification of a binary install instance.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
