  When executing the findEJBTimer script, the following error is
  received:
  00000001 EJBTimersComm E CNTR9100E: Exception
  com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorException:
  com.ibm.ws.management.connector.ipc.RetryCandidateException:
  java.io.IOException: Connection close: Read failed. Possible
  end of stream encountered.
  This failure is because the server write operation via the
  IPCConnector has timed out.
  

Problem conclusion

• Added a JVM property (com.ibm.ws.ipc.serverWriteTimeout) By
  setting it with a value in seconds), the user can increase the
  timeout of the IPC Connection during a write operation. by
  default, the value is 60 seconds.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  9.0.5.7 and 8.5.5.19. For more information, see 'Recommended
