CopyOnce: too much frequent

As written in the manual "ZG246758" the restore procedure after an HYPERSWAP (scheduled or unattended) foresees 3 actions:
1- START secondary on Master of MM;
2- MGM3SITE_RESTORE;
3- MGM3SITE_SWAP

The 9th step of MGM3SITE_RESTORE_MT_RS* procedure for the function (MONITOR) is :

STEP(009) FUNCTION(MONITOR)

TARGET(KG_LOCAL)

SESSION(********)

DEV(A2C)

INTERVAL(60)

ASYM(TRIPLET)

COPYONCE(ONLY)

WAIT(YES)

CRITERIA(FIRSTPASS)

RESTART(0)

CC0TEXT(VRN.BASSON CO VOLUME FIRSTPASS OK)

CC8TEXT(VRN.BASSON CO VOLUME FIRSTPASS NOK)

In this step the CopyOnce is performed even if, at the start, another CopyOnce is suggested via SDF warning message (one message GEO617W for each CopyOnce DASD) at the end of the procedure.
The same step is present on SWAP procedure MGM3SITE_SWAPMTFO_CAS_RS*.

It would be appropriate leave the CopyOnce run only at the end of entire process, or send an assist to require if the customer need to run a CopyOnce or not during the procedure esecution.

NOTE: furthermore the wording MONITOR does not suggest that the CopyOnce be performed in this step.
