The /HOLD command suspends and saves a currently active conversation.
The IMS response to /HOLD provides a conversation identification that must be used later when the held conversation is resumed (/RELEASE command) or terminated (/EXIT).
In an IMSplex, if global resource information is kept in Resource Manager, /HOLD suspends and saves the active conversation globally in Resource Manager. If global resource information is not kept in Resource Manager, /HOLD suspends and saves the active conversation locally.
