awsstop sync

Don't complete the awsstop command until all aws.... threads have terminated - a synchronous stop.

Currently the awsstop command completes before all awsckd threads have completed. This means that the files updating the disk images are still open - and disk updates can be queued in the Linux cache.

    Thank you for submitting this RFE. IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 12 months from the date of decline. We appreciate you taking the time to submit this request.

    Thank you for submitting this RFE. This is consistent with our plans for the product and will be prioritized for future consideration. The following are some comments on what may be provided: When AWSSTOP is issued it calls each zPDT process to close down. This means that all open zPDT emulated DASD files will be closed, however, those requests do not use the FSYNC option so the Linux file cache would not be purged. We will look at changing zPDT such that as part of AWSSTOP we will add the FSYNC option. Note that it is still required to do a controlled application and OS shutdown first as the correct procedure in this situation.
