QUERY PROCESS (Query one or more server processes)
Use this command to display information about active background processes.
To cancel background processes, issue the CANCEL PROCESS command. To display detailed information about node replication processes, issue the QUERY REPLICATION command.
Privilege class
Any administrator can issue this command.
Syntax
Parameters
- process_number
- Specifies the number of the background process to be queried. This parameter is optional. If not specified, information about all background processes is displayed.
- DESCription
- Specifies a text string that you want to search for in the list of active processes' descriptions. Enclose the string expression in quotation marks if it contains blanks. You can use text and a wildcard character to specify this string. This parameter is optional.
- STATus
- Specifies a text string that you want to search for in the list of active processes' statuses. Enclose the string expression in quotation marks if it contains blanks. You can use text and a wildcard character to specify this string. This parameter is optional.
Example: Query a single background process

- Process Number
- Specifies the number that is assigned to the active background process.
- Job ID
- The unique numeric ID of the job that is associated with the process.
- Process Description
- Specifies a description of the active background process.
- Process Status

Tip: When a node replication process is
finished on the target replication server, only end process information
is stored in the activity summary table. The full summary for the
replication process is stored in the activity summary table on the
source replication server.
