NOTE: Do not execute the YKDELETE command during planned outage operation (when switching
the P-VOL and S-VOL). To dissolve the copy pair, switch the P-VOL and S-VOL again, return the
P-VOL to the primary site (restore normal operation), and then dissolve the copy pair.
Executing YKWATCH
If w is specified in the AC column in the Manage Copy Groups panel, the YKWATCH command to
monitor the volume status transition will be executed and the Watch Options panel for specifying
parameters of the YKWATCH command is displayed. The value is used as a background job for
submitting. JCL uses a value indicated in the Set Defaults panel.
Figure 129 (page 169) shows the Watch Options panel.
