Function That Monitors Event and Errors
The commands that monitor events and errors are the YKEWAIT and YKWATCH commands. They
are both TSO/E commands that are called from a REXX script and monitor the transitions of copy
pair statuses within specified copy groups. However, there are differences in their functionality as
shown in Table 23 (page 98).

Copy pairs at a remote site are the copy pairs controlled by using the Remote DKC Control Function.
Depending on the configuration, the YKWATCH command might not be able to monitor the transitions
of copy pair statuses correctly. For details on the configurations that might not be possible to monitor
and other points that should be noted, see the chapter on commands in the HP P9000 for Business
Continuity Manager Software Reference Guide.
