Creating a 4x4 Continuous Access Journal copy group for a mainframe system
When creating a 4x4 Continuous Access Journal copy group for a mainframe system, in certain
configurations there are conditions for the specifiable EXCTG ID.
If you create a 4x4 Continuous Access Journal copy group for a mainframe system by using Replication
Manager, Replication Manager does not check the specified EXCTG ID.
For details about the conditions for the specifiable EXCTG ID, see the Business Continuity Manager
release notes.
Windows Server 2008 R2
Do not use a Managed Service Account when using Replication Manager on Windows Server 2008
R2. If you specify a Managed Service Account for one of the following services, errors might occur
while you are performing Replication Manager operations:
• Application Agent services
Protection Manager Service◦
◦ HBsA Service
• SQL Server, SQL Server Agent, and other SQL Server-related services (when running a service to
create a replica for an SQL Server database)
Maintaining copy group consistency
For copy groups with consistency maintained between open systems and mainframe systems, you
cannot perform the following copy pair status change operations:
• Operations on the open system:
takeover◦
◦ swap
◦ takeover-recovery (resync)
◦ takeover-recovery (recreate)
• Operations on the mainframe system:
◦ restore
Also, regarding the above copy groups that are having their consistency maintained, if you use a tool
other than Replication Manager to perform a swap operation or takeover (Reverse Resync) operation
for either only the copy group on the open system or only the copy group on the mainframe system,
you cannot use Replication Manager to manage the relevant copy group.
