Deleting a VSAM RLS lock structure

You can delete secondary lock structures only with the operator command. All DFSMS lock structures are persistent structures that have persistent connections. When the secondary lock structure transitions to Quiesced state, SMSVSAM does not unallocate the lock structure in the coupling facility.

If you want to delete a secondary lock structure, the SMSVSAM address space previously connected must be terminated. You can use the following command:

  V SMS,SMSVSAM,FORCEDELETELOCKSTRUCTURE(lockstructurename)

To delete the primary lock structure, IGWLOCK00, all SMSVSAM address spaces must be terminated. You can use the following commands:

  V SMS,SMSVSAM,FORCEDELETELOCKSTRUCTURE(lockstructurename)

  V SMS,SMSVSAM,FORCEDELETELOCKSTRUCTURE
