Query for bitmap increment status

During a configuration change from H3->H1->H2 to  H1->H2->H3, running the start H1->H2->H3 command may result in an unexpected full copy from H2 to H3 instead of a quick resync (for example, when z/OS systems were down after rolling back from a DR configuration and volumes were aligned by previous multi-target configuration).
With this idea I suggest implementing a query for bitmap increment status with the goal of avoiding unnecessary full copies.

    Please open this IDEA on DS8000. there is no query available for CSM to perform this action. CSM support responded to the case for this, saying to open the IDEA on the DS8000 side. They'll need to implement a query first for CSM to be able to do anything
