  PRODUCT ENHANCEMENT
  This PTF delivers an enhancement to LCP that provides the user
  with the ability to incrementally restore a Safeguarded capture
  back to production. The support for this function is extended to
  users operating a GM2SITE Virtual Isolation LCP model or MMnSITE
  Physical Isolation LCP model.
  

Problem conclusion

• DOCUMENTATION CHANGES
  Updates describing the Safeguarded Incremental Restore to
  Production function have been included in the latest revision of
  the GDPS LCP Manager documentation (ZG24-6763-04). These
  updates, applicable to both V4R4 and V4R5 installations, can be
  found in file ZG246743_V4R5 available in the fromibm/docs
  subdirectory on the GDPS FTP site for your licensed offering.
  
  DS8000 CODE REQUIRED
  Exploitation of Safeguarded Incremental Restore to Production
  requires DS8900 microcode level 89.20.147.0 or higher. For
  current recommended code level, see
  https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ds8000-code-recommendation for
  'go-to' level.
  
  PRODUCT DEPENDENCY
  Prior to using the Safeguarded Incremental Restore to Production
  function provided by this PTF, the following z/OS System Data
  Mover PTF must be applied to LCP Manager (Kp) system to obtain
  the necessary LCP SafeGuarded copy support: z/OS 2.3 systems
  require UJ07206; z/OS 2.4 systems require UJ07207; z/OS 2.5
  systems require UJ07208.
  
  ACTION REQUIRED
  Prior to exploiting the new function delivered by this PTF, a
  GDPS DASD Configuration must be performed. This action will
  increment the configuration
  level to that expected by the Restore to Production function.
