recover GM should indicate date and time for the data

After a stop, when we do a RECOVER GM, we do not know the date and time of the recover. We should find somewhere the date and time of the last good consistency point.

This will probably be the first thing ask by management in case of real DR.

    This is incredibly important to a real disaster. As stated in the description, it will be an immediate question asked by the database teams, management, etc. (AmEx)

    This is similar to an RFE we requested years ago when we made the switch from XRC to GM in order to retain function parity. Having a timestamp or the recovery point to tell applications was always part of our recovery process, one which we cannot provide today.
