Error description

• Rational Developer for System z - RDz v9.5.1
  IBM Developer for z Systems - IDz v14.0
  
  When zOS system mappings are pushed down to clients the RDz
  client must be restarted in order to utilized.
  
  Once the zOS systems mappings are downloaded via the push to
  client (PC) and the client has been restarted then the
  mappings work from that point on.
  

Local fix

• Restart client after mappings are pushed down from host to
  client
  

Problem summary

• When a user uses push-to-client to update file system mappings,
  the mappings and the view are not updated until the product is
  restarted.
  

Problem conclusion

• The mapping properties are being stored in a variable so that
  excessive reloads don't effect performance.  The code that
  checks the variable was not accounting for the case where the
  file system mappings may be updated via push-to-client.
  
  The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with
  IBM Rational Developer for z Systems V9.5.1.3 Fix Pack which
  is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page:
