The CICS job which displayed this message issued a sign on to the CAVM. CAVM is attempting to reserve or access the CAVM data set indicated in the message text, but for some considerable time, either the required resource has remained unavailable or an outstanding I/O request has not completed. The reason for issuing this particular message cannot be failure of a conditional reserve request unless new empty CAVM data sets are being used for the first time. The reserve attempt should not fail anyway unless another CICS job using the same CAVM data set and executing a sign on, sign-off or takeover request has been held up, possibly by I/O delays, after issuing a successful reserve. I/O delay might be caused by reserves issued by jobs (not necessarily CICS) running in other CECs that have made the CAVM data set’s DASD volume temporarily inaccessible.
After a short delay, the CICS job that displayed this message either reissues the conditional reserve macro or checks for completion of the outstanding I/O. If the required resource is now available or the I/O request has completed, normal processing continues. Otherwise, this message is reissued.
None, unless the condition persists. If so, another CEC might have failed after reserving the DASD volume containing a CAVM data set. In this case, follow your installation’s operations procedure for removing an outstanding reserve for a shared DASD. (For example, issue system reset on the failed CEC.)

The CICS job that displayed this message issued a sign on to the CAVM. To process the request, CAVM needs to know the status of a job identified by an entry in the control data set, but cannot obtain this information for the reason given in the message text.
After a one minute delay, the CICS job that displayed this message reissues the failing job status enquiry. If the request is completed successfully this time, normal processing continues. Otherwise, this message is reissued.
If JES is not running, restart it if possible. Otherwise, if the condition persists, try to correct the problem that is preventing job status enquiries from being answered. In some cases, just stopping JES and restarting it again may achieve the desired effect. In a JES2 environment, a possible cause of this trouble is that another CEC has failed after reserving the DASD volume containing the check-point data set. See message DFHXC6607. In a JES3 environment, job status enquiries cannot be answered if the global processor has failed.

If the job which displayed this message is a CICS active and the condition persists for long enough, it is possible that an unwanted takeover will be initiated when the alternate (assuming that it is able to read the CAVM data sets because it is running in a different CEC) notices that the active system’s surveillance signals have ceased.
