APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Two configurable properties are related to a transaction
  timeout:
  
      <!-- default transaction timeout (seconds) -->
  <default-transaction-timeout>480</default-transaction-timeout>
  
  and
  
      <!-- default long transaction timeout (seconds) -->
  <default-long-transaction-timeout>14400</default-long-transactio
  n-timeout>
  
  The DELETESNAPSHOT command usually takes longer to run than the
  default timeout is set to. Therefore, the command should use the
  long transaction timeout instead.

  is set too low.
  

Problem conclusion

  cumulative fix. This fix changes the timeout being used to the
  long timeout when deleting a snapshot.
