OOS tracks in MGM3SITE recovery region

When production is failed over in the RECOVERY region, we will be in Global copy from C-B. When we are ready for failing back to main region, we run the MGM3SITE_GOHOME_CAS_RS1_RS1. During that, it will ensure EMPTYOOS. However, if there are lot of OOS tracks, it will take time. We want a method to get this queried so that we can perform a check before going home. We can do it with DSCLI, but looking for a solution in GDPS that can helping in displaying OOS tracks and we can plan accordingly.

    We use the RECOVER command when performing a Region Switch in our 4-Site environment. Currently we manually check that all the tracks have drained before performing the RECOVER. A automated way to verify that the OOS is zero would be very beneficial.

    We don't use MGM3SITE, but the capability would have applications for other GC replication scenarios

    FIS/Worldpay agrees. If we were running in the recovery region and scheduled a region switch at 0300, we would certainly want it to occur as planned.
