  This issue is caused as the node sys.host.paths hasn't
  existed in the collective repository prior 8.5.5.4

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  In version 8.5.5.4 of the Liberty Profile, the Collective
  Controller expects the repository node sys.host.paths to exist.
  However, prior to 8.5.5.4 this node did not exist, so older
  collectives that have migrated into 8.5.5.4 will possibly
  encounter this error.
  

Problem conclusion

• Proper logic has been added to also search pre-8.5.5.4
  repository nodes when querying for the host paths.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:
