User Exit to be utilized for application consistency volume copies

In order to have application-consistent volume copies, the product should provide a user exit before and after a task for FlashCopy and/or Remote Copy in conjunction with IBM Spectrum Virtualize. Those user exits must provide a facility to handle user-provided script errors to the product so that if a script fails or returns an error, then the associated task should be failed too. User-provided scripts are supposed to held and executed on systems that are different from the product is installed, thus remotely invoked via SSH.
