Problem conclusion
As a part of reconstruction of the configuration we would not need to process any message. Therefore, code changes are made to just read the configuration details and skip rest of the data present in the store during when recoverMEConfig is run. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.7.
