Checking connections between GDPS K-systems defined in GEOGROUP by GDPS Monitor I

GDPS has the ability that work in conjunction with Kp-systems, Kg-system, and Kr-system, such as the MGM3SITE and MGM4SITE procedures. To run the procedure, it is mandatory to establish connections between K-systems defined in GEOGROUP. But currently these connections are only checked at GDPS initialization in order to confirm Topology. Once all the connections are confirmed, there will be no more checking to be done, so we can't know whether these connections are later lost or not. We can only know that when we execute procedures. If one of the connections is lost, we can't execute procedures until the connection is restored. In case of MGM3SITE_MOVEGM after unplanned HyperSwap in multi-target configuration, that means GM RPO increases significantly. To avoid this problem, we'd like to request checking connections defined in GEOGROUP by GDPS Monitor1. We opened a CASE and we got advice to execute MGM3SITE_EXCEPTION_REPORT to check connections. But it is not easy to implement this automation by each customer. We think implementing connection checking in GDPS Monitor1 is easy and strongly needed.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that although we agree that the proposed enhancement is desirable, we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it cannot be delivered within our planning cycle.
