QUIESCE question (mvs)

[Dale Franklin]

WRITE(YES) externalizes buffers to disk. WRITE(NO)does not. My
question: why externalize to disk WRITE(YES) when WRITE(NO) will do
the job when recovering to the quiesce point? Thanks!

Hello,

IMHO, this is just a performance option for cases where you're going to
QUIESCE a large list or set of tablespaces. Since the default WRITE YES may
initiate a lot of synchronous write-I/Os for each tablespace, the period of
time the quiesced objects are read-locked may become unacceptable for other
update-processes running in parallel ...

Cheers - Walter Schneider.
