That's what we ended up doing. That also describes the big disadvantage: We're losing the sysplex wide benefit which hurts us on two pairs out of 5 systems. It also uncovered something about DAE I didn't really like: DAE looses the recording capability completely when 'the other side' starts on a different data set. I had wrongly assumed that it would go on using the old dataset when it cannot access the new one. Well, it doesn't.
