APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
By default, the enumeration approach is used. When using predefined fabric groups in a probe job and changing the probe algorithm from enumeration to associators, not all fabrics will be probed. RECREATE STEPS: 1) Use a predefined fabric group to set up a fabric probe. 2) Change the algorithm used from enumeration to associators via "setfpplyc" in tpctool.
Local fix
Do not use the pre-defined groups. Define a new job for each fabric probe then switch to associators algorithm.
