Description

The IXCCFCM service is for use by a recovery manager to communicate the ACTIVE or INACTIVE states of the recovery manager. IXCCFCM can be used to update the CFRM active policy with the status of the recovery manager (for example, Graphically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex® (GDPS®)) and the name of the recovery site. CFRM will use the SITE information from the CFRM policy, along with the status of the recovery manager and recovery site, to assist in making the appropriate CF duplexing failover decisions.

Note: With APAR OA31601, the recovery site provided to XCF through IXCCFCM is ignored. The recovery site does not affect which structure is kept when coupling facility structure duplexing is stopped. IXCQUERY or the DISPLAY XCF command does not provide the recovery site. Because using the recovery site might cause you to lose duplexed coupling facility structure data in the event of a coupling facility failure at the recovery site, disabling use of the recovery site with OA31601 helps you avoid the problem.
