  When users attempt to display the Liberty Advisor report, the
  administrative console displays the report very briefly,
  followed
  by the message "The report no longer exists. Run the application
  scan again to generate the report.". This message is incorrectly
  displayed because sometimes it is displayed even when the report
  exists.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code that checks the if the report exists or not has been
  changed so that it works even when there is a 404 message
  inside the report.
  
  The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack
  8.5.5.24 and 9.0.5.17.
