VSAM RLS deadlock and timeout problems

z/OS DFSMSdfp Diagnosis
SC23-6863-00

Deadlock or timeout errors in SMSVSAM will cause CICS® to issue messages DFHFC0164, DFHFC0165, DFHFC0166, and DFHFC0167. They should provide enough information to determine the cause of the problem.

If additional information is needed, the CICS FC level 2 trace will provide the VPDI (mapped by IFGVPDI). The VPDI is the source of the information provided in messages DFHFC0164, DFHFC0165, DFHFC0166, and DFHFC0167. The SMSVSAM trace OPTIONS=DLKPD can be used to trace the VPDI.

Note: The information returned in the VPDI can be out of date. There is a lag between the time the problems are detected and the request fails. For a timeout, information on the blocking holder might not be returned because that request completed before the information could be extracted.
