FCCAWAIT

If your task is waiting for resource type FCCAWAIT, it means that the task is waiting within VSAM for a request issued against the RLS control ACB to complete. The control ACB is used for requests that are not issued against any specific file: for example, requests to:

  • Release locks

  • Convert locks to retained status

  • Quiesce data sets

If the request is to quiesce a data set, CICS is waiting for other CICS regions that access the data set to respond to the quiesce request.

In other cases, the request should complete quickly. Failure to complete quickly could indicate a delay within the VSAM lock manager.

Waits on this type of resource can occur only for files accessed in RLS mode.
