The schema is QSYS2.
reset-statistics
A character or graphic string expression that contains a value of YES or NO.

If this parameter has a value of YES, statistics are reset such that the time of this query execution is used as the new baseline. The columns that contain this statistical data have names that are prefixed with ELAPSED_. Future invocations of SYSTEM_STATUS within this connection will return statistical detail relative to the new baseline. If this parameter has a value of NO, statistics are not reset for the invocation. If this parameter is not specified, the default is NO.

Start of changeJOURNAL_RECOVERY_COUNTEnd of change Start of changeINTEGEREnd of change Start of changeSpecifies the system wide default journal recovery count. The journal recovery count allows you to choose between faster runtime processing of changes to journaled objects and faster IPL or vary on recovery after an abnormal shutdown. The value specified influences the frequency with which journaled objects are forced to auxiliary storage as those objects are changed. The specified journal recovery count indicates the approximate number of journaled changes that would need to be recovered during journal synchronization for this journal in the event of an IPL or vary on after an abnormal shutdown. A smaller value decreases the number of changes that would need to be recovered from this journal by increasing the frequency with which changed objects are forced to disk. A larger value increases the runtime processing of changes to journaled objects by decreasing the frequency with which changed objects are forced to disk. Changing this value may affect overall system performance as it affects the utilization of auxiliary storage devices.
