GDPS 4.1 Missing FlashCopy Devices Information

The information from VPCPFCSO panel does not provide the device number of the tertiary copy which is what we are interested in. Under GDPS 3.14, we can obtain the tertiary DASD info from GDPS under FCQueryS from VPCPQSH1 panel under DASD REMOTE COPY.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won?t be pursued within our planning cycle.

    This is our number 4 ranked item for Batch 11.

    This will become more important as we adopt more tertiary copy use cases.

    Medium - useful to have and I agree with D13M_Robert_Brüning that's important to get all information about the DASD connections in one place.
