Enhancment to replicate node commando to only replicate nodes in send or sendsync mode

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

I try to create setups without and errors or warnings from housekeeping scripts.
I also try to work with opt-out mechanisms as much as possible for customers that agree to use that backup philosophy.

When you build a two-way replicating Spectrum Protect setup using node replication (with or without protect stgpool) you get a LOT of errors of this type.

ANR2728E REPLICATE NODE: Node <Nodename> cannot be replicated because it is not in the SEND or SENDSYNC mode.

You either have to use nodegroups, single nodes or accept these messages, this doesn't work with an opt-out policy.
Why isn't there a replicate node option like with move drmedia where you can say something like wherereplstate=SEND,SENDSYNC.

    Could the use of servergroups help you?

    This RFE seems really simple to implement and not having this is still an issue at opt-out bidirectional replication sites, we see errors related to this in the activity log of most of our setups and would really appreciate it if IBM would implement this RFE.
