Error description

• ***************** START OF APAR OPEN TEMPLATE *****************
  
  APAR Type:            Field
  Approver Initials:    RP
  Severity:             3
  Reported Release:     622
  Compid:               5724C04PS Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
  ABSTRACT:             Duplicate LPAR in physical topology
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  An LPAR shows up in two locations in the physical topology.
  Once under the Sysplex folder, and once at the same level as the
  Sysplex folder (i.e. under the z/OS Systems folder).
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  
  The following conditions must be present to reproduce the
  problem:
  
  - The S3 IRA does not register an affinity that TEPS recognizes
    as an MVS agent affinity
  - Another agent is present that TEPS does not recognize as an
    MVS agent (in this case, it was a QI Agent)
  - The other unrecognized agent's node status record is processed
    first
  - The two unrecognized agents are running on different addresses

Problem summary

• A duplicate LPAR node may be seen in the physical topology.
  
  
  An LPAR shows up in two locations in the physical topology of
  the portal client - once under the Sysplex folder, and once at
  the same level as the Sysplex folder, i.e. under the z/OS
  Systems folder.
  

Problem conclusion

• The physical topology evaluator no longer correlates agents with
  null affinity by address.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
