PPRC to XRC Load Address Synchronisation

For GDPS 3 site we require an automated mechanism within GDPS that synchronises any changes made from the PPRC site load address value to the the XRC load address value.

These updates should be made in “real time” and only be made if a system name exists in XRC with the same name that the update is being made for in PPRC (this clause is in here because not all systems in a production plex may exist for recovery within XRC).

The above requirement exists in relation to ensuring that in the event of a disaster (or a COB test) that XRC has the “real time” values of the production lpars load address.

In addition to the above, the Monitor 2 process should be enhanced to include a check of the PPRC Load address value against the XRC Load address value. Any discrepancy found should be rectified automatically.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it is not consistent with the product architecture and our strategy for future releases.

    medium - we have local proc we run after each flashcopy that gets the DRP IPL volumes and sends it as an email to DRP team. We are not using XRC to load/ipl, but realize this might happen in the future for us.

    Although we do have MzGM and are going to MzGM 4-SITE, this is N/A to us as all IPLing takes place in GDPS/PPRC exclusively
