Caution on transferring business tasks back to the primary site when using delta resync:
After you remove failures from the primary site and other locations and then the system is changed
to 3DC multi-target configuration, the status of a pair between the primary site and the URz
secondary site may be abnormal. If the status of the pair remains abnormal, you will be unable to
transfer your business tasks back to the primary site. To solve this problem, see Table 24 (page
89), check the pair status and then perform a problem-solving operation before transferring business
tasks back to the primary site.
