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 ANTMAIN,CCSTOR command or analyze the SMF 42(4) records to find the causing CC session. For simplification it would be very helpful if GDPS could also display the causing CC session as GDPS already knows it.

Checking at first the GDPS documentation in case of "HyperSwap not possible due to CC session(s) in primary or secondary disks." to use the required steps to find the CC session might be to long when the CC session doesn't exist anymore.

    That would be very helpful. We often have CC Sessions and it's a lot of work to find the CC which inhibit the Hyperswap.

    We have not experienced issues with CC preventing planned HyperSwaps, but would use the facility if it was available when it was needed.

    We limit the use of CC because of GDPS availability but can still get in this situation. When you do, you need all the information there is available and this would be very helpful.

    Would be extremely useful. We do try to restrict CC usage to avoid problems after a UHS, but something may slip past us. At PHS not so critical, be very useful nonetheless to know what's preventing it.

    Very reasonable request to fasten the operations.
