Ok. I'm blind. Or maybe I mistyped my search arg.
I now see it in multiple syntax diagrams.
And in the z/OS Diagnosis Guide it says the SLIP ACTION can specify
SVCD or SYNCSVCD. That's nice. It agrees with the Commands
manual. But I'm still a bit short on descriptions and explanations.
Just from the concept of "synchronous" I assume something is
suspended in SYNCSVCD processing. And I assume that something
is not as extensive as with QUIESCE=YES. My gut feeling is "all
processing in the dumped address space" is suspended (which
could be good for diagnosis but bad for processing) but that's a
guess.
Under SLIP ACTION=SYNCSVCD, it says:
"SLIP will stop the unit of work before starting the dump to ensure that the
restart occurs after the dump has completed."
And from this side of the Blue Divide, that's as good as it gets.
