QUIESCE PERIOD field (QUIESCE subsystem parameter)

The QUIESCE subsystem parameter determines the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that Db2 is to be allowed to attempt a full system quiesce.

Acceptable values: 1–999
Default: 5
Update: option 43 on panel DSNTIPB
DSNZPxxx: DSN6ARVP QUIESCE

This parameter requires some tuning. If you specify too short an interval, the quiesce period expires before a full quiesce is accomplished. If you specify too long an interval, the quiesce period might cause unnecessary Db2 lock contention and timeouts.
