Issuing the QUIESCE command causes the system to suspend the processing of all active jobs and to prevent the starting of any new ones. The system enters the MANUAL state, the MANUAL indicator is on, and no processing is being done. Quiescing the system does not affect any job step timings (for accounting purposes). Issue the QUIESCE command from any console with MASTER authority. You can continue processing by performing the restart function.
Do not issue a SYSTEM RESET after quiescing the system if you intend to issue a RESTART after the quiesce. Issuing a SYSTEM RESET will cause the system to enter an enabled wait state.
