    The use case is like: Site A PPRC to Site B. There could be some reason that PPRC get suspended. Current design is that PPRC status information can be gotten from Site A from disk subsystem or by GDPS/PPRC K system. However, if there is any communication problem between site A and B, the operator in site B could not get accurate status of PPRC from only site B disk subsystem.

    If ZDL implementation, the long leg PPRC target for DB2 log is deployed in Site B. It is extremely important because all data replication rely on this PPRC link. Then monitoring the status of this long leg PPRC become critical for ZDL solution.
