ALCOBJ command completion time with DDM

When DDM-related files are being allocated, a longer time will be required for the command to complete because of the additional time required for communications to occur between the source and target servers.

You should not, however, increase the wait time specified in the WAIT parameter on the Allocate Object (ALCOBJ) command; communications time and the WAIT parameter value have no relationship with each other.

Note: If the DLTF command is used to delete the remote file without first releasing (using the DLCOBJ command) the locks obtained by the ALCOBJ command, the DDM conversation is not reclaimed until the source job has ended.
