Copy Group Definition File Generation Function using CSV files - This uses batch jobs to define
and update copy group information from a CSV file.
PPRC Copy Pair Monitoring function - This enables status monitoring by defining a PPRC copy

Specified Time Suspend functions

ATTIME suspend function allows one or more copy pairs in a consistency group to be specified
for suspension at a specified time. Set ATTime from either the Business Continuity Manager ISPF
panels or in a REXX script.
NORMAL ATTIME Suspend function - Suspends a Business Copy for Mainframe or Continuous
Access Asynchronous for Mainframe consistency group at a specified time.
CAJ ATTIME Suspend function - Allows a Business Copy for Mainframe copy group that is
linked with Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe to acquire backups without suspending
the Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy group. Acquires a synchronized backup
for a Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy group configured in one or across multiple
storage systems.

Functions for Acquiring Volume Information

These functions scan storage systems and acquire volume information.
Local Scan - Acquires device configuration information about Gen'ed volumes on a storage
system directly connected to a host.
NOTE:
the local storage system (which is directly connected to a host) are called Gen'ed volumes.
Remote Scan - Acquires device configuration information about the volumes on a storage
system that has no channel connection to the host.
NG Scan - Acquires device configuration information about Non Gen'ed volumes on the
storage system directly connected to a host.
NOTE: Volumes that are not defined in the operating system I/O configuration definitions on the
local storage system (which is directly connected to a host) are called Non Gen'ed volumes.

Logical Path Control function

This function establishes and deletes inter-disk controller logical paths or inter-control unit logical
paths. It creates an environment for paths required for operations from the primary site to Business
Continuity Manager.

For monitoring events and errors

YKEWAIT – This monitors status changes for copy pairs in the specified copy group, waiting
for the specified status to be reached. The execution results are saved in the message structure.
This enables statuses to be monitored for Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe and remote
site copy pairs.
YKWATCH – Monitors the copy pair status transition for a specified copy group. Sends a
notification message when all the copy pairs have been placed in a specified status. The status
of Continuous Access Journal for Mainframe copy pairs or copy pairs on remote sites cannot
be monitored.
