Termination and restart of QUIESCE

If you use TERM UTILITY to terminate QUIESCE when it is active, QUIESCE releases the drain locks on table spaces. If QUIESCE is stopped, the drain locks have already been released.

You can restart a QUIESCE utility job, but it starts from the beginning again.

QUIESCE specifies whether the changed pages from the table spaces and index spaces are to be written to disk. The default option, YES establishes a quiesce point and writes the changed pages from the table spaces and index spaces to disk. The NO option establishes a quiesce point, but does not write the changed pages from the table spaces and index spaces to disk. QUIESCE is not performed on table spaces with the NOT LOGGED attribute.
