UNIX Processes workspace

The UNIX Processes workspace provides detailed information about each process your systems are currently executing.

The UNIX Processes workspace contains two views. The UNIX Run Time % bar chart graphically illustrates the percentage of CPU execution for UNIX work. The UNIX Processes table displays identifying and performance information for each process.

Use this workspace to check the status of processes and identify the ones causing system problems. For example, you may find that the execution time of a process is abnormally high. A problem program that is looping might be causing this problem. You can use this workspace to identify the process and its owner.

You can link to the UNIX Processes workspace from the z/OS UNIX System Services Overview workspace, the Dubbed Address Spaces workspace (for information about the processes associated with a selected address space), the UNIX Mounted File Systems workspace (for processes using the file system), and the UNIX Logged-on Users workspace (for user ID and process IDs).

From this workspace you can link to information about children of a selected process, the threads of the process, the address space in which the process is executing, and the mounted file systems being used by the process.

This workspace can record historical data.
