Page 222 NOTE: The YKLOAD command is an REXX subroutine, so it should be called from REXX script by the REXX CALL key word instruction. When you execute the YKLOAD command more than once using the same stem-name, the system overwrites the REXX variables. The invoked script executed from CALL statement or EXEC command should not read a configuration file with the same stem-name as the one read by the invoking script.

Page 225 NOTE: If ONLINE(YES) is specified, volume corruption might occur because a copy pair can be made even if the S-VOL is being used. Thus, consideration with respect to volume operation is required, such as limiting operation to periods when the S-VOL is not being used. If transition to HOLD status is not performed, this might indicate an environment in which differentials cannot be maintained in the journal.

Page 361: Copy Group Parameters
NOTE: The parameters can be specified for each copy group (CGID). If a copy group parameter that is not a CGID parameter is specified more than once under a single CGID parameter, the last time the parameter is specified takes effect. You can specify more than one STATUS parameter under a single CGID parameter.
Page 362 If * is specified, all command devices are used regardless of whether they have the route label. If both the route label and * are omitted, command devices with no route label are used. CGMONSTAT={ACTIVE|INACTIVE} Specifies the monitoring status of the copy group (whether to monitor the copy group). ACTIVE Monitors the copy group.
Page 363: Processing For Changing To The Startup Status
STOP Changes the monitoring status of all the copy groups specified in the CGID parameter to INACTIVE. ADJUST Changes the copy pair status to the specified startup status. Processing depends on the status of copy pairs in the copy group. For details on the processing for changing the status to the startup status, see “Processing for Changing to the Startup Status”...
