MOVEGM withour full sync on metro mirror

When you do a MOVEGM script in 4 sites, this result in a full sync of the metro mirror. The procedure should avoid the full sync, as in CSM.

    Hello
    MOVEGM procedure drop the metro-mirror. it is writen in the documentation:
    MGM3SITE_MOVEGM:
    After running this script, a Full Copy is required to restore Metro Mirror replication in NYC.
    MGM4SITE_MOVEGM:
    In this scenario you are going to lose disk high availability (HA) since the Metro Mirror will be interrupted

    We run this procedure in MGM4SITE and we have to do a full sync on metro mirror.

    GDPS MGM4SITE provides the capability to toggle between cascading mode & multi-target mode without a full sync on MM. What are you trying to accomplish? Why isn't the existing support sufficient? Note: (1) new function will take 1-2 yrs to GA and (2) this support already exists in GDPS MGM6SITE.
