Multi session access Netview and Portal/GUI

With today we've activated the GDPS GUI and PORTAL to our 4 production sysplexes. Currently, users can connect to the GUI, but they can't be simultaneously connected to Netview via 3270 and vice versa. Enabling multi-session access would allow use...

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...

Report possible active CC session(s) during a planned HyperSwap

A planned HyperSwap is not allowed if there is a DFSMS Concurrent Copy (CC) session present in the GDPS environment. GDPS reports this with "HyperSwap not possible due to CC session(s) in primary or secondary disks." The user has to use the F ANTM...

almost 3 years ago in GDPS 17 Planned for future release

Provide the possibility of having a consistent copy in Region A when we are in a Region Switch situation (Production in REGion B) in the GDPS MGM3SITE solution.

It is very dangerous to propose a Region Switch in MGM3SITE, since in that situation we will not have a consistent copy in Region A (copy between Region b and A in Global Copy format). In this situation if we have a problem in Region B, the data i...
