elapsed, suspension will take place. In this case, data consistency is guaranteed, however, suspend
processing might be delayed.
GENID(generation-id) ~ <2-digit hexadecimal number><<00>>
Applies to Business Copy for Mainframe, Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe.
Specify a generation ID. The default value (used when this parameter is omitted) is 00. Generation
IDs can be used as a generation number used for identifying the generation of backups.
For example, generation IDs are useful when you need to maintain consistency between multiple
storage systems. If you have specified different generation IDs for the volumes of individual storage
systems each time you set the ATTIME suspend time, all storage systems can be recovered from
the same volumes that have the same generation ID when the storage systems are recovered.
CANCEL
Applies to Business Copy for Mainframe, Continuous Access Asynchronous for Mainframe.
If this parameter is used, the ATTIME suspend time is canceled. This parameter is valid for copy
groups specified by consistency group ID.
For Cnt Ac-A Z, this parameter cannot be specified for a remote storage system. Table 136 (page
251) shows the operation when the ATTIME suspend time that has been set for the CAA copy group
is canceled.

Target storage system
The ATTIME suspend time is not canceled
because this operation cannot be performed
for a storage system (the return code is 48).

The ATTIME suspend time is not canceled

Not specified
When the copy type is BC and you do not use the CAJ ATTIME suspend function, do not specify
this parameter for a remote storage system or a copy group in which P-VOLs are Non Gen'ed
volumes. Table 137 (page 251)shows the operation when the ATTIME suspend time that has been
set for the BC copy group is canceled:
