Other common causes of TX/4 waits on a TX/6

Bitmap indexes on OLTP tables - with updates to
the bitmapped column, or inserts/delete of rows.

Updates colliding on rows in IOTs.

Several variations of pk/fk activity split across
two sessions.

The blocker has the TX enqueue with lmode=3D6, the requestor=20
is requesting a shared lock (lmode=3D4). =20

I've narrowed the issue down to two the same two possibilities
you mentioned:

1)  The blocked transaction is attempting to insert the same PK/UK
values and is waiting to see if the first one commits or rolls back.

2)  Lack of an available ITL slot in either the table or index. =20
Since maxtrans is set to 255, I'm leaning away from this, although
I am aware of the fact that if there is not enough space in the block=20
to increase the ITL from the default of one, it will wait rather than
expand the ITL, eventually timing out with this 2049 error.  I think it =
would
be happening a little less frequently if this were the problem.
