Thanks for the reply. I don't think that is the case when you say 'you cannot just return operations back to the original application region'. Banks do this all the time. They run production in site A for a few months then switch and run in site B for a few months. I'm not really asking if this can be done, I'm asking if you reverse replication with XRC, can you do an incremental resync without GDPS and configured for a region switch.

I hate to sound pedantic, but running production anywhere other than its home location. means that the latest live, current production data now lives at the recovery site. 'Home data' is now obsolete. You would have to restore that data from the recovery site at home, overlaying the old data. If that's not what you mean, please clarify. . .

I’ve read that XRC can do an incremental resync when returning home if you are configured with region switch and running GDPS, which we are not. Does anyone know if this is a proprietary thing? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
