Waits

For the purpose of problem determination, a wait state is regarded as the state in which the execution of a task has been suspended. That is, the task has started to run, but has been suspended without completing, and has subsequently been unable to resume.

A problem identified as a wait in your system could be caused by any of the following:

• A wait on an MQI call

• A wait on a CICS or IMS call

• A wait for another resource (for example, file I/O)

• An ECB wait

• The CICS or IMS region waiting

• TSO waiting

• WebSphere MQ for z/OS waiting for work

• An apparent wait, caused by a loop

• Your task is not being dispatched by CICS or MVS due to higher priority work

• DB2 or RRS are inactive
