ELB not managed by TPC/R

For an effective and convenient management of a DS8000 replication environment, it would be very useful if TPC-R could manage
ELB timeout for every LCU/LSS in a MM/MGM environment.
In fact, a clear display of this parameter for the session (e.g. tabular display) could help in understand if the environment
is correctly configured, if all LCUs/LSSs have the same setting and the value is correct.
A further and very useful function is the possibility to set directly from a TPC-R panel the ELB timout.
Another very important enhancements we would like to have with TPC-R is to know if a freeze was taken without expiration of ELB timeout.
In fact, if the ELB timeout expires before LSSs have been frozen, the secondary data are not consistent.
So, in our opinion, this is a very important information.
