A special case: lost locks
If a lost locks condition occurs, any affected data set remains in a lost locks state
until all CICS regions have completed lost locks recovery for the data set.
Lost locks recovery is complete when all uncommitted changes, which were
protected by the locks that were lost, have been committed. Therefore, after a lost
locks condition occurs, you may need to follow the same procedures as those for
preparing for batch jobs (described in “The batch-enabling sample programs” on
page 178), to ensure that the data set is made available again as soon as possible.
Preserving data integrity should be the priority, but you may decide to force
indoubt units of work and to reset locks in order to make the data set available
sooner.
Overriding retained locks
There may be situations in which it is difficult or inconvenient to use CICS
commands to remove all the retained locks held against a data set.
About this task
For these situations, DFSMS access method services provides a SHCDS
subcommand that allows you to run a non-RLS batch program despite the fact that
there are retained locks.
The PERMITNONRLSUPDATE subcommand
The SHCDS PERMITNONRLSUPDATE subcommand allows you to run a non-RLS
batch job where it is not possible to resolve all the retained locks that are held
against the data set.
This subcommand overrides the DFSMS controls that prevent non-RLS
opens-for-update when a data set still has retained locks. Use this option only as a
last resort.
The effect of the PERMITNONRLSUPDATE command is canceled as soon as the
data set is re-opened in RLS mode after the batch work is complete. Re-issue the
command when you next want to override retained locks.
The DENYNONRLSUPDATE subcommand
The SHCDS DENYNONRLSUPDATE subcommand allows you to reset the permit
status of a data set to prevent non-RLS updates.
This subcommand is provided for the situation where you issue the
PERMITNONRLSUPDATE subcommand in error, and want to turn the permit
status off again without running any non-RLS work:
v Specify DENYNONRLSUPDATE if you do not run a non-RLS batch job after
specifying PERMITNONRLSUPDATE. This is because CICS, when it next opens
the data set in RLS mode, takes action assuming that the data set has been
opened for update in non-RLS mode if the PERMITNONRLSUPDATE state is
set.
