As one failure message is defined in specification for the path switch procedure then what would be the behavior of target eNodeB after getting failure response from the MME ? Action would be vendor specific or standard action has been defined for this scenario ?

In case of failure response from MME, eNodeB can initiate UE context release procedure towards MME.

Hi Vimal,
-> With X2 HO,Target has accepted all the e-rabs and even UE has sent RCR complete towards TeNb.
-> At this point TeNb has sent PATH SWITCH REQ towards MME and received failure.
-> How to handle this case when all e-rabs are admitted at target (after RCR complete we usually send UE context release from target to source).
-> Does MME need to handle this case and trigger detach procedure with target for UE.
