GDPS 3.14 Check Topology Enhancement

MGM4SITE_CHECK_TOPOLOGY will stop upon encountering the first error in establishing PPRC pathing. In a 4-site Multi-target configuration this can become cumbersome due to the number of PPRC paths that need to be validated.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won't be pursued within our planning cycle.

    This sounds similar to our issue in GDPS Metro 4.1 where a single FCP path error failed START SECONDARY pprc failback - although we are not users of MGM I agree a single FCP path should never fail a process if that is what is described here.
