RE: Finding offending RPG program causing locks on files

Hi Matt,

The program that receives the "[57014] [IBM][AS] Resource error - SQLSTATE 57014, SQLCODE -1044" could do the WrkObjLck and return the result to the user or email the result to your helpdesk or log the result in a log file.

Best regards,

Peter Lunde.

subject: Finding offending RPG program causing locks on files

Is there a deadlock monitoring system built into DB2 like there is in SQL Server?

If so how do you enable it or view it?

We are finding some RPG programs that are maintaining exclusive locks on files for as long as you are in the screen, which then causes our end users of our website to not be able to login as the web program can't read their record. This exhibits itself in an not very helpful message of "[57014] [IBM][AS] Resource error - SQLSTATE 57014, SQLCODE -1044."

We have already fixed one RPG program which has helped the situation, but there appears to be more RPG screens doing this.

I'm wondering what the best strategy is for finding these RPG programs as the locks are released when they close out and we might not be able to do a WRKOBJLCK command in time on the four potential files that are typically required to login.
