    LCP: tagging/untagging using script or NetView command

    Currently, the only way a capture can be tagged or untagged is from panel VPCPLCS0. Being able to take these actions using a NetView command or a GDPS script would help develop unattended procedures.

    Script management needs distinction for SECURITY="<group>" tag

    With SECURITY="<group>" tag we can allow different users to execute different scripts. However, the Script management option/panel does not have this distinction. Either you do have access to the panel and the permit to stop/reset any script...

    Messages GEO2775I and GEO2776E should display the profile name

    When a capture is taken it will either end successfully, showing: GEO2775I LCP SAFEGUARD CAPTURE ENDED SUCCESSFULLY or fail, showing: GEO2776E ERRORS ENCOUNTERED DURING LCP SAFEGUARD CAPTURE EXECUTION neither messages shows the name of the managem...

    Improvements in KG movement operation when performing a GM leg movement in GDPS MGM3SITEs

    In our opinion, and knowing that it is not the same, we believe that the KG should have two instances in Region A and pass on the role of ‘primary gm’ depending on whether we have the GM leg in A.RS1 or A.RS2. We have carried out a simulation of t...

    That GDPS LCP & GDPS MGMxSITE interact with TDMF automatically.

    If I am not mistaken, if you have GDPS LCP and want to perform disk TDMFs, you must manually perform the following sequence of actions: 1._ Extract the TDMF TARGET disks from the GDPS LCP ‘session’. 2. Wait ‘x’ amount of time until all SGC BACKUP ...

    Notify or automatically withdraw LCP RECOVER background copy when it ends

    Forgetting to ENDCOPY results in eventually running out of SGC captures since the captures involved in the RECOVER remain locked and can't be . Ideally, there would be an additional parameter to specify an automatic ENDCOPY when the background cop...

    Need the ability to execute multiple GDPS scripts at the same time for parallelism

    Mastercard is trying to reduce their RTO during standard IPLs, DR Tests and Region switches. With the restriction of only being able to execute one GDPS script at a time it’s hindering our RTO. If they had the ability of running multiple scripts a...

    Check primary DASD devices on all lpars with TEST CONFIG

    Currently GDPS dasd TEST CONFIG checks, on the system on which the DASD Config is run (ie. master K), if the primary devices are accessible. With this idea we would like to extend this check, performed on the master K, to all the lpars of the rele...
