We get those messages too, during save while active backups.  Just a
warning, and no apparent issues.  We consider them normal when they pertain
to a SWACT backup.

 Message . . . . :   Job holds large number of locks.
 Cause . . . . . :   The job 072436/QSYSOPR/QEZBKTMMON has 30000 locks.
30000  is a suspiciously large number of locks, and it indicates that an
application may be leaving locks behind.
 Recovery  . . . :   Determine whether the locks are correct for the
application.  To do this:

     1. Display the job's locks using the Work with Job (WRKJOB) command
with job name QEZBKTMMON, user QSYSOPR, job number 072436, and option
*JOBLCK.
       NOTES:
       - WRKJOB may take longer because of the large number of locks
involved.
       - WRKJOB is usable only if the job is still active.
     2. On the Work with Job display, verify:
       a. Which objects are locked.
       b. How many locks each object has.
       c. The type of locks involved.
     3. If the locks are correct, ignore this message.
     4. If the locks are not correct, fix the application that acquired
the
locks.

If the problem appears to be in IBM system code, use the Analyze Problem
(ANZPRB) command to report the problem to IBM. To release the existing
locks, end the job.
