Quiesce state

A table entry is moved into quiesce state by a quiesce request if no read locks (including ones obtained by the issuing task) exist for the entry. When a table entry moves into quiesced state, it is unable to be located. Locating tasks can choose to ignore or wait for quiesced entries to be unquiesced or deleted.

If the quiesce request is performed with the commit option, the only ways to release the quiesced state are:
  • Unquiesce
  • Delete

For commit requests, the delete takes place immediately the request completes. Otherwise, if an entry is not deleted or unquiesced by the end of the UOW the TM DWE will unquiesce the entry. In this case, a delete does not take effect until the end of the UOW.
