DFHFC0556 applid Unexpected notification of completion of lost locks recovery for data set dsname.

Explanation

CICS has received a notification from SMSVSAM that lost locks recovery has completed for data set dsname, but CICS still has outstanding lost locks recovery work for that data set. This notification has therefore been issued out of sequence.

System action

CICS continues processing. The data set remains in a lost locks state, and CICS continues with its lost locks recovery. New file control requests against the data set will continue to be rejected with AFCU abends. When all CICS regions have completed their lost locks recovery for the data set, then a valid notification will be received and CICS will remove the data set from the lost locks state.

There will be an instance of this message on each CICS system for each data set when an unexpected notification is received.

User response

Lost locks recovery processing should complete normally without any user intervention.

However, this message is an indication of a probable logic error in SMSVSAM, so you should take dumps of all the SMSVSAM servers and their associated data spaces in the sysplex. See IBM problem support for guidance on how to proceed.
