not currently using the GUI but this is a good idea - low priority
When we eventually get to use the GUI, this will be nice to have - low priority
Will be helpful- high
Do not use GDPS GUI (yet) ... however ... this is a good idea and valid request ...
A very good idea - Medium
As part of the activation of a changed GEODEF member the new options should be synchronized by GDPS to keep the GEODEF members in sync and prevent problems in the future when nobody remembers what was changed and why GDPS behaves different. Prio: medium
It is always possible that an update by use of the gui is followed by an event before you would manualy update the same dataset at the other lpar. It would be a very good addition to the gui to keep both sides in sync. (more reason to use it)
Not using yet the GDPS GUI, but for sure we need to avoid risk of data sets members being OoS.
Currently not using the GPS GUI, this doesn't apply (yet). But the options and scripts, which were previously kept in the SA policy, had to be maintained in sync (via "where used" constructs) and updates applied in sync, by the SA sysprog. Now that those have been "externalized" and are probably maintained by someone "other than" the SA sysprog, the need for synchronized distribution has not changed. I would not require GDPS to do the "update" of the GEODEF dataset.
