UNQUIESCE command

Restores user access to instances or databases which have been quiesced for maintenance or other reasons. The UNQUIESCE command restores user access without necessitating a shutdown and database restart.

Scope

UNQUIESCE INSTANCE instance-name restores user access to the instance and all databases in the instance instance-name.

To stop the instance and unquiesce it and all its databases, issue the db2stop command. Stopping and restarting DB2® will unquiesce all instances and databases.
