CPC Operations query - CBU records

It order to reduce the access to the HMC-SE, could be useful to have more information in panel 3 --> 1 --> R near related CPC (VPCPCOPR) of GDSPS like to show for each RecID the expiration date and time.

    We have GDPS specialists that also do a lot with the hardware HMC. They see value in not having to go to the HMC in certain situations.

    Priority would be low but a single view into all related recovery actions can only help with the overall recovery.

    This would be very helpful, especially if all kind of CoD Records could be managed and monitored.

    A good idea. A "F11=Right" to view more fields would be extremely nice.

    This would be very helpful to us. Assuming this would also apply to flexible capacity records as well.

    I agree, this would be useful. Expiration date/time especially, as it is a convenient place to check, and if it's on a scrollable panel we could check multiple records (CBU+OOCoD) at the same time.

    In addition to being able to view capacity records, a healthcheck that reports on expired (or about to expire) has the possibility to eliminate manual checking.

    Single visibility into everything related to a recovery action is very helpful. It prevents our teams from needing to jump between more systems.
