Problem conclusion

• Updates to "GDPS Global - GM V4R2 Installation and Customization
  Guide", ZG24-6757
  
  1.5.1 Migration to GDPS Global - GM 4.2
  Addition:
  Enable PPRCMT in DEVSUPxx
  
  Specify ENABLE(PPRCMT) in your DEVSUPxx member of your PARMLIB
  on both GDPS GM controlling systems. You can dynamically
  activate it with SET DEVSUP=xx .
  
  Change the text for
  2.2.1 GDPS and Multi-target PPRC considerations
  to:
  GDPS GM from 4.2 need multi-target PPRC in the DEVSUPxx member
  to be enabled. If you plan to establish any multi-target
  relationships for devices that GDPS is managing you also need to
  specify topology GM2SITE suboption MTFO(YES) in GDPS options.
  Otherwise if you do establish any multi-target relationships for
  devices that GDPS is managing, GDPS will not function correctly.
  
  Addition:
  3.1.9 DEVSUPxx customization
  In order for GDPS to initialize you must specify ENABLE(PPRCMT)
  in the DEVSUPxx member of your PARMLIB on both GDPS GM
  controlling systems.
  
  Note this option must be enabled regardless of the hardware
  capability to support Multi Target.
