BCPii enhancement for fake connection detection

Customer upgraded host CZ01 from z13 to z15. After that, They could not use GDPS to load system or deactivate/activate LPARs in CZ01.
System admin checked and found BCPii status was connected，GDPS debug was ‘ON’. And he started SA BCPii trace. It failed when trying to deactivate M103 ( system name) in GDPS panel. In GDPS panel, the system admin suspended CZ01 Console communications then resumed Console communication, after that he could successfully deactivate M103 in GDPS panel.

Could you please help to enhance the function to detect BCPII fake connected status? If we can’t get the real status for BCPII connection, all the DR automation based on it will not be able to work as design, and will badly impact disaster recovery time.
