Local fix

• ITXCQ - ITX00062999
  TR / TR
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender users who uses the map command
  server with command lines with resource aliases.
  
  Problem Description:
  The map command server could terminate abnormally when a command
  line with resource aliases contained a card override for some
  non-file adapters.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Internal library initialization logic which is now required to
  use ResolveCommandLineAlias was not present early enough in
  program execution. Initialization logic was added at an
  appropriate location in program execution.
