Usage

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.

Example for /HOLD Command

Entry ET:

  /HOLD

Response ET:

  DFS999I  HELD CONVERSATION ID IS 0001

Explanation: The active conversation is saved and is assigned an identification of 0001.
