Local fix

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce Version 7 Feature Pack 8 and Version 8
  workspace users who use the Workspace Management feature in
  Management Center.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Allow workspace scheduler jobs to be run on its own work manager
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Now workspace scheduler jobs can be configured to run in a
  separate dedicated thread pool, so they are not subject to
  starvation.
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• Added ability for an administrator to configure a dedicated work
   manager for workspaces such that threads from its thread pool
  are used to schedule workspace jobs.
  
  To enable this capability, you need to create a custom work
  manager and then update the wc-resource-containers.xml file. For
   more information, see the readme file that is included in the
  fix for this APAR.
