GDPS MGM Support for FC1 Incremental Flashcopy

This customer's implemented on October 10th , GDPS MGM Global , with three sites and a fourth copy FC1.
They are doing the Flashcopy every day and they are complaining about the time to complete the full copy.
One of the solutions would be to change for incremental flashcopy but we don't have available for GDPS now.

    As with World Pay WFC is somewhat confused what this RFE is intended for. We definitely want as much additional FC support as possible with MGM 4-SITE topology but don't have a specific need for Incremental Flash as we intend on using NOCOPY for all our tertiary copies of data.... not voting on this RFE with understanding it is specifically a request specifically for some kind of Incremental Flashcopy support.

    FIS/Worldpay: We also run MGM Global with a 4th FC1 that we use twice a month. This works well for us. More details are needed to understand what is being requested.
