Db2 archive log mode(quiesce)

Reference to Case number TS002663644

This is for using "Db2 Recovery Expert disaster recovery feature - Recovering at the remote site using DB2 image copies":

During Disaster Recovery tests some Db2 subsystems found indoubt and inflight threads at Db2 subsystem startup and, as result, some of db2 objects ran on Logical Page List (RW,LPL) status. To fix that we manually ran RECOVERY INDOUBT command to get rid of IMS thread found. DBAs ran idcams to define the underlying VSAM LDS that was missing, ran Db2 command -start db() sp(<spacenam) acc (rw) followed by recovery tablespace utility. These are manual intervention and we are looking a way to avoid those indoubt / inflight threads, thus avoid LPL. 

It seems the dRE product currently does a simple -ARCHIVE LOG command during DR prep1 job execution and by adding  -ARCHIVE LOG MODE(QUIESCE) in the archive process should help in avoiding those indoubt/inflight threads.
