RE: Dataarea lock problem

I would be willing to bet that one of those jobs had the data area with a
SHRUPD lock and was probably either waiting on a message or did not get shut
down for whatever reason.  I would almost be willing to lay additional money
that it was probably one of the JAVA programs.

Your best course is probably to wait for it to happen again and check the
lock status for each job to determine which one is hogging the data area.

This only happen about 2 to 3 times for the past two years.  I'was not able
to recall what the share status were.

All I can recall is when this happen, all the jobs (a lot of them) that try
to call the RPG program to access the dataarea were all getting the time-out
cpf error.  Because a lot of jobs were failing, I got no choice but ended
those jobs that were in HELD status.  Everything start to working again
after I ended those (HELD) jobs.
