AA-080 (ICBC) Replication restart point prior to workoad switch, during Graceful Switch.

When GDPS restart q replication in the reverse direction, it issues a warm start, causing Q-REP to start reading the DB2 logs from the time when the replication was previously stopped. Instead, the use of a timestamp or LRSN should be considered.

AA-046 (ICBC) GDPS/A-A should has the ability to wait for the completion of qrep replication before switch workload to new site at the time of workload failure caused by CICS region failure.
