HMC-Last used profile

We are currentrly implementing the use of GDPS for shutdown/IPL production LPARs, but we have realized that currently  in HMC, the "Last used profile" column, should not display the last activation profile when we IPL from GDPS, or more in general when it was activated from BCPii, but it is display only when the IPL is performed by HMA or Support Element.

This was clarified and confirmed also from the LABs.
