GDPS LCP Recover & Restore enhancements

Hello we are in a GDPS MGM 3 site configuration with GDPS LCP running in the remote region. Unfortunately it is not possible to have multiple recovery set to which you can recover (for running validation & forensic in the same time) and it is also not possible to specify to which site you want to restore (for example site 2 is off and you want to restore to site 1).

    Does the client find the current support sufficient since they can get the two copies, they need by:
    - Perform Validation via a direct FC to RC1
    - SGC recover to RC2 for forensic analysis
