LOCK YES should imply QUISECE YES

Because HPU is not an application program and not a 'true Utility', it does not check all instances of other Utilities for incompatibility.  Users will run HPU and other Utilities will that try to start may not see that HPU is running and there could be abends or inconsistent results.   Adding an implied QUIESCE when running with LOCK YES. will add logic for Db2 Utilities to avoid each other.  This is a feature with another vendor.  Per development, this would most likely be a installation parm.

At the very least, if LOCK YES is coded and QUIESCE YES is NOT coded, include an information message stating this.

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. Even though this enhancement request is not delivered as requested, an information message is now issued to signal inconsistent parameters. The new message implemented in APAR PH43668.

    Text of message: INZU585I UNLOADED DATA CONSISTENCY NOT ENSURED DESPITE LOCK YES AS QUIESCE NO APPLIES FOR NATIVE MODE UNLOADS

    While we view all the enhancement requests we receive as valuable and we would like to implement all of them, in an effort to have maximum transparency we are closing the ones that don’t currently appear on our 12-month product roadmap. This is not to say that these enhancements may not still be implemented at some point in the future, as we constantly evaluate our requirements on the basis of customer demand and technical impact and try to deliver maximum value to our customers. We appreciate your feedback and would be happy to discuss your enhancement requests further.
