To get the IODF across... what you'd need to do depends on who manages DR at the other side: if it's you, setup an email job on your primary system to email you the IOCP when a new config is activated. If it's IBM or some such, setup an email job on your primary system to email the vendor/partner the IOCP when a new config is activated.
