Error description
Path summary panel shows stale number of failing paths for some DS8K boxes when the panel was first invoked (due to refresh from cache/Derby), but seconds later changed to correct status when a refresh from hardware occurs: > 2016-03-29 08:29:04.248+0200 CSMCOM-1884 RepMgr D > com.ibm.csm.server.hw.ess.ccw.ESSPathStateProcessor checkPathStatus(boolean,ESSPathIdentification) Entry When user brings up the Path panel, it should display the correct path status or showing a timestamp indicating the status might be stale. This leads to these potential APAR changes: - Put into the TPC-R doc that data first displayed might be stale and user has to wait xx seconds for the display to refresh (not a good option) - Put a second timestamp showing the last time the path status was refreshed from hardware (better option) - Do not display path status until hardware refresh is completed, so there is no stale information shown (best option)
Local fix
Wait for xx seconds for the hardware refresh to occur, then it would show the correct path status.

Problem conclusion
There is no change for this APAR as it work as designed. Th TPC-R 5.2.8 Path summary panel shows stale number of failing paths for some DS8K boxes when the panel was first invoked, but seconds later changed to correct status. First time we display this status we display it according to our database and then query the subsystem for status. The second time, after a GUI refresh we display the correct data.
