For those that love FDR like I do, you may have seen a complaint of mine in the past that there was no support for zFS quiesce. Even though the interface was the exact same as for HFS, FDR must have been checking the file type and not not quiescing zFS. My cloning jobs had a zfsadm quiesce step prior to cloning the zFS files and and post unquiesce step.
Well, that is no longer a concern. At FDR 5.4 level 78, support was quietly added for "ZFS=QUIESCE" to the copy command (I skipped from lvl 76 to lvl 80 in prep for z/OS 2.1). Whether you specify HFS=QUIESCE or ZFS=QUIESCE, the functionality is the same and both HFS and ZFS will be quiesced when you copy them (I tested this, because it wasn't clear to me that was the case). Thank you Innovation! I've been waiting years for this (DFDSS has had this support for a long time).
