Application Restricted State is a term coined by Sheila to describe a particular OS state/environment required to perform some ASW tasks in the overnight process. To understand the need for this term, it is important to first understand that IBM i defines its own Restricted State, which can be summarized as follows (from IBM's website):

Many recovery procedures require that your system have no other activity on it. When no subsystems except the controlling subsystem are active on your system, it is in a restricted state.

QCTL is the controlling subsystem being referred to (or less likely, QBASE, depending on what the system value QCTLSBSD is set to).
