APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When the handler for AFM replication is created on the Gateway node, the handler Create time, the last Replay time and the last sync time are all initialized to now time. If for some reason the handler couldn't go Mounted and replicate to Home, this leads to AFM printing the last replay time as the same time as handler create time and gives a misconception that replication has actually happened.
