Deleting tasks
You can delete tasks related to operations on copy pairs that were registered when the Pair
Configuration Wizard or the Change Pair Status Wizard completed an operation, or when a copy
pair associated with a remote path was deleted. You can only delete tasks that have the Cancel,
Failure, Warning or Success status. When a task is deleted the task information is deleted from the
repository. Resources reserved by a task are released when all the related workflows are deleted.
Tasks whose retention period, after the end of the task, has expired are automatically deleted. Users
with the Admin (Replication Manager management) permission can manage the retention period. For
details on how to check the retention period of a task, see “Viewing the data retention
period” on page 138.
To delete tasks:
1. From the Explorer menu, choose Tasks and then Tasks.
The Tasks subwindow appears.
2. Select the check boxes of the tasks you want to delete, and then click Delete Tasks.
The Delete Tasks dialog box appears.
3. Confirm the tasks that will be deleted, and then delete them.
The tasks are deleted from the Tasks subwindow.

About distributing copy group definitions
Replication Manager supports the distribution of copy group configuration definition files to alternate
hosts. This capability enables uninterrupted pair management in the event of disaster at the primary
site. During pair configuration using the Pair Configuration Wizard, you can select Mainframe hosts
from a list of alternate host candidates identified by Replication Manager. Upon completion of pair
configuration, Replication Manager distributes the copy group list created during pair configuration
to these distribution targets.
The following two types of copy group definition file distribution are possible:
• Normal distribution: Distribution of copy group definition file from the user-selected BCM or P9000
mainframe agent host to the target BCM or P9000 mainframe agent host. The copy group
definition file is distributed to all hosts that satisfy the distribution prerequisites. For details of copy
group distribution prerequisites, see “Prerequisites for distribution destination hosts (copy group
