The Specified Time Suspend function

You can use an ATTIME suspend function to suspend a copy pair at a time you specify. There are
two types of ATTIME suspend functions:

NORMAL ATTIME Suspend function

Cnt Ac-J Z ATTIME Suspend function

NOTE:

For Business Continuity Manager versions earlier than 5.1, copy pair suspension that is

executed with the ATTIME parameter specified corresponds to the NORMAL ATTIME Suspend
function.

NORMAL ATTIME Suspend function

Because Business Copy Z and TrueCopy Asynchronous for Mainframe do not support consistency
preservation across multiple storage systems, you cannot set backup time between the storage
systems to the same time. However, if you execute the ATTIME suspension function for a Business
Copy Z or TrueCopy Asynchronous for Mainframe copy group that is configured across multiple
storage systems, you can perform a synchronized backup across the storage systems.

NOTE:

The NORMAL ATTIME Suspend function cannot be used for a remote storage system.
