APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When caching is enabled in an RPT test, a Content VP failure is
  reported on a response which does not contain a Content VP.
  
  For example, consider a test with three pages containing the
  same request:
  
    GET /webapps/MyPortalApp/index.jsp
  
  The middle instance has a Content VP which checks for the string
  "Secure Portal"; this string will appear but only for the middle
  iteration.
  
  The request on the final page doesn't have (and never had) a
  Content VP but after a playback, in the Test Log, a failed
  Content VP will be reported for this request.
  
  If caching is disabled in the test, the failing Content VP does
  not get reported (i.e. the problem goes away).
