Use this procedure to hold any journal entries for a file identified by a data group file entry. Avoid leaving a file entry on hold for any extended period.
File entries with a status of *ACTIVE, *HLDRGZ, *HLDRNM, *HLDPRM, *HLDSYNC, *HLDRLTD, and *RLSWAIT can be placed on hold.
The request changes the file entry status to *HLD. Any journal entries for the associated file are replicated but not applied. If the file is being processed by an active apply session, suspending of the update process can take a short time to complete. You will receive a message when the file is held. MIMIX retains log spaces containing any replicated journal entries in anticipation that the file entry will be released. When the file is released, the accumulated journal entries will be applied. The *HLD status remains until additional action is taken.
