Good idea - medium priority
NIce idea, low priroity
LBG: Low priority as we use standard processes but makes sense for client to want GDPS to provide similar functionality for their own bespoke scripts.
Worldpay does not use GDPS to manage CFRM policies.
Not something we'll need with the next two years, hence priority low.
We don't do CFRM-Policy switching and manage site-switches via Scripts/USERPPROCs/REXX-EXECs, but maybe some customers need the ability.
Hi, there are some structures we want to force not to rebuild on the remote site, due to the distance, so we do not code them in the PREFLIST of all CFs but only the local site CFs. This is one of the reasons why CF NORMAL does not accommodate our Site Switch process and we need to implement a site-specific CFRM policy while we swap.
Via USEPROC we use the SETXCF command to set the policy and monitor that all structures moved accordingly, then after the USERPROC we have an ASSIST step to confirm that they all moved correctly and that the GDPS panel is updated to reflect the new NORMAL policy. If we could set the new CFRM policy using a script, or at a minimum update the panel via script, like we do for the PREFERRED HYPERSWAP leg or PREFFERED RPFC leg, this would avoid some manual steps.
