APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• The customer established all connections to DVIPA targets
  successfully, however the Connection Establishment Rate (CER)
  value displayed by the NETSTAT VDPT DETAIL or netstat -O DETAIL
  or DISPLAY TCPIP,,NETSTAT,DETAIL  commands was zero or
  otherwise less than expected. The connection establishment rate
  (CER) is a measure of the percentage of the connection setup
  requests received at the target that achieve completion with the
  client (that is, arrive at connection established state). It is
  displayed as a percentage. CER is used for display only, and is
  not integrated into other calculations.
  

Local fix

• The associated displayed values TSR, TCSR and SEF can give an
  indication of connectivity success.
