Better logging for node replication failures

When using node replication, and a replication process fails - it is very often hard to find the exact cause.
It would be great, if the reason - or at least the node(s) and/or filespace(s), that caused the error would be logged in the TSM server activity log - so that further troubleshooting could be focused on the listed items - instead of having to try to replicate e.g. 200 nodes one at a time, in order to find out which one was the cause of the problem.

    Thank you for submitting the request. This is a recognized requirement and a solution appears to be desirable. This request is not in a committed release plan for this year,
    but the theme is aligned with our multi-year strategy, and will be a candidate for our future release. IBM’s plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
