Multiple scripts execution at the same time

Hello, it is not possible to launch 2 scripts at the same time , we have to wait the end of the execution of the first script started to execute a new script.

It will be good to permit the parallel execution of the scripts. 

For example, when we a doing a disaster recovery  switch on the secondary site, we have to wait the stop on a LPAR to start a new STOP or a LOAD. We have a lot of LPAR to IPL and it is impossible for us to use GDPS. Usualy we are using GDPS for our IPL, but during our D/R test we have to stop and load the LPAR from the HMA.

We know it is possible the start multiple stop at the same time in one standard action, but it is not our usage. The IPL are managed by different operators.  

Regards

    We would like to better understand the requirement. Assuming GDPS Metro and an eight-way parallel sysplex, what steps do you envision executing when performing a site switch from site 1 to site 2?
