DEFER
This command defers the posting of shadowed transactions from the specified node for the listed
file sets, queuing those updates instead. This allows a specific shadow file or set of shadowed files
to be taken off-line, without interrupting the posting for any remaining shadowed files. Reference
the UNDEFER command for information on re-initiating the posting of the pending transactions.
This command requires SYSTEM MANAGER(SM) or SYSTEM SUPERVISOR(OP) capability.
