If this is a WEEKLY backup, should it not be in restricted condition to prevent locks and give the ablility to have a Full backup? When a backup is running and the objects are locked the system waits 120 seconds for each object just as AnchorS said.

I suspect the command runs with “save while active” options, and the defaults are 120 seconds to wait for each object is locked. I assume the runbkp command would do so as well. I’d also recommend that you display the tape to confirm that you are getting what you need backed up.

You might also consider creating your own cl with savsec, savlib, etc, so that is you need to end a subsystem you can do so that is timely for your applications.
