Task list - - Action Codes - - D (Display task information)

D A summary of the most important information regarding the task will be displayed. A mask with the following format will be displayed for Dialog or Enter tasks:


With a mouseclick you get a describtion of the screen item.

All commands which can be entered from the command field of the Task list can be entered here. Additionally, the following commands may be specified:

SETSW ON|OFF=(...)

The task switch can be modified with this command. The SETSW command must be entered without the preceding slash symbol ('/').

NT Next Task. This will cause the next task marked with the Action Code D to be displayed.

ATL [INT=n] Automatic Task List. This command results in a periodic update of the screen after n seconds (Standard = 30 secs.).

A summary of the most important characteristics of a task are displayed in this mask. A full description of the individual data fields is given below.

Elapsed: Time since the ENTER key was last pressed (Format: min.sec).

TSN: TSN of the task to which this information relates. The TSN is a four digit number or alphanumeric string identifying the task in BS2000 commands.

TID: Task Identifikation. The TID is an eight digit hexadecimal BS2000-internal identifier for the task.

User-ID: Userid under which the task is running (LOGON command).

Jobname: The brief description of the task specified in the LOGON command (/.name LOGON).

Jobtype: Task process type Additional information.

1: waiting Enter job DO (Dormant)

WT (Waiting to be started)

2: active Enter job Task category

3: aktiver Dialog-Auftrag Task category

4: waiting SPOOL job Printer type

5: active SPOOL job Description of the device, or

KP (Keep)

7: RSO SPOOL job WT (Waiting)

ACT (Active)

KP (Keep)

PRI: Job and run priority of the task. The priority is specified as a decimal number between 1 (highest priority) and 255 (lowest priority).

Account-Nr: Account number under which the task is running. The account number is related to the userid specified in the LOGON comand.

Jobclass: Job class under which the task was started, or under which the task is scheduled to be started. A userid is allocated one or more job classes, one of which can be specified at LOGON time. The job class determines, amongst other things, when a job is active (in control of the CPU).

PEND/Q#: Unpend Code of the task and number of the queue (task scheduling).

AID: Read and write priveleges for the debugging tool AID, and for programs using the TAM macro (AIDSYS). Read and write priveleges can be changed with the /OPTION TESTPRIV command from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest). The highest value allowed is specified in the join entry.

Logon-Date: Date on which the LOGON command was issued for this task.

Logon-Time: Time at which the LOGON command was issued for this task.

STATION: Terminal from which the LOGON command was issued for a dialog task. This field is empty for Enter jobs.

PRO: Name of the communication processor (FEP), via which the terminal is communicating. This field is empty for Enter jobs.

CPU-Max: Maximum CPU time available to the task, in seconds. The CPU limit can be defined for Enter tasks in the ENTER or LOGON command. For tasks started without a time limit, NTL (No Time Limit) will be displayed. For tasks currently pended with an NCHOLD (HOLD-TASK) command, HOLD will be displayed.

CPU-used: CPU time in seconds used by the task. The value specified in CPU-max cannot be exceeded.

Size CL6: Program size. The number of 4k pages in Class 6 memory currently allocated to the task will be displayed.

Size CL5: The number of 4k pages in Class 5 memory currently allocated to the task will be displayed.

max. used: The maximum number of 4k pages in Class 5 or 6 memory used by the task at any time.

Idle Time: Time since the last activation of the task (task in control of CPU). The time will be displayed in the format min.sec.

IO Public: Number of IO's generated by the task on public volumes.

IO PRV: Number of IO's generated by the task on private volumes.

IO Paging: Number of Paging IO's.

IO Other: Number of IO's generated by the task on other devices such as tapes and printers.

#SVC-P1: Number of SVCs completed by the task in the P1 state (TU).

#SVC-P2: Number of SVCs completed by the task in the P2 state (TPR).

#File-Acc.: Number of file access operations completed by the task.

#JV-Acc.: Number of Job variable access operations completed by the task.

TIAM in: Number of TIAM entries (ENTER's) performed from the terminal.

TIAM out: Number of messages sent to the terminal.

Delta IO: Number of IO's started by the task since the last time this value was queried (see the "Elapsed Time" field). All types of IO are evaluated.

Delta CPU: CPU time in seconds used by the task since the last query.

Category: Category under which the task is running.

Min: MIN-MPL value of the category under which the task is running.

Max: MAX-MPL value of the category under which the task is running.

Weight: Weight of the category under which the task is running.

SU Total: Service Units Total. The number of Service Units acts as a unit of measure for the system resource usage by the task. The value of a Service Unit is dependant on the power of the CPU. Fewer Service Units will be used by a more powerful CPU than by a less powerful one. This column will contain the total of CPU, IO and memory Service Units.

SU CPU: Service Units CPU. This figure indicates the current CPU usage by the task.

SU IO: Service Units IO. This figure indicates the current IO usage by the task.

SU Memory: Service Units Memory. This figure indicates the current memory usage by the task. The value for SU Memory correlates to the Working Set Integral (WSI).

Last CMD: The last BS2000 command to have been executed by the task will be displayed.

Program: The name of the program phase loaded by the task will be displayed. If no program has been loaded, this field will be empty.

Tasklib: If a Tasklib has been assigned, its name will be displayed here.

Monjv-Job: Name of the Monitor Job variable associated with the task, as specified in the LOGON and ENTER command.

ENTER-Name: Only for Enter jobs: Name of the Enter file from which the commands are executed.

Job-Param: The string displayed was specified in the ENTER or LOGON command as a JOB-PAR= parameter and serves to identify further Job class attributes. The Job parameters must first have been defined by the system administrator before they can be used.

Task-SW: The current values of the task switches are displayed. Switches that have been set (SETSW ON=nn) are displayed at double brightness.
