Compatible FlashCopy linkage configuration
In this configuration, the same volume is used for a Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL and a Continuous
Access Synchronous, XP Continuous Access Asynchronous, or Continuous Access Journal copy
pair P-VOL.
In this configuration, datasets created by using FlashCopy can be remotely copied to the secondary
site by using TrueCopy, TrueCopy Asynchronous, or Universal Replicator.
Functions Supporting the Automatic Operation (BCM Monitor)
Business Continuity Manager provides the BCM Monitor function, which makes it possible to
automatically perform operations on copy groups.
To automate a series of operations for copy groups, you need to create a script that uses a Business
Continuity Manager CLI command. However, by using BCM Monitor, you can easily perform the
same automatic operations without actually creating a script.
BCM Monitor monitors copy group statuses and performs operations on copy groups when they
are in a particular status. In the BCM Monitor parameter file, you can specify which copy groups
to perform operations on and what operations to perform (such as a copy group operation, or an
operation that outputs reports and messages) before starting BCM Monitor. The operations are
then automatically performed as specified.
