Process <process> | Identifies the process for which statistics are displayed.
Location | The card number, CPU number and process identifier (Pid) for which statistics are displayed.
Parent | The parent task and instance identifier, as well the location where the parent task is running.
CPU usage | The percentage of CPU time actually used versus allocated (allc), as well as the maximum used.
File usage | The number of files actually used versus allocated, as well as the maximum used.
Memory usage | The amount of memory (in megabytes) actually used versus allocated, as well as the maximum used. (release 12.x)

show task resources card

This command displays current statistics per card.
Table 2. show task resources card Command Output Descriptions

Field | Description
--- | ---
cpu | The CPU on the specified card where the task is running (identified by slot_number/CPU_number).
facility | The facility for which statistics are displayed.
task inst | The task instance identifier.
cputime | The percentage of CPU time actually used versus the allocated time (allc).
memory | The amount of memory (in megabytes) actually used versus allocated.
files | The number of files actually used versus allocated.
sessions | The number of sessions used versus allocated, as well as the status of those sessions.
Total | Summary for all task instances, CPU time, memory, files and sessions.

show task resources facility

This command displays current statistics for the specified facility.
Table 3. show task resources facility Command Output Descriptions

Field | Description
--- | ---
cpu | The CPU on the card where the facility is running (identified by slot_number/CPU_number).

memory | The maximum amount of memory (in megabytes) actually used versus allocated.
files | The maximum number of files actually used versus allocated.
sessions | The maximum number of sessions used versus allocated, as well as the status of those sessions.
Total | Summary of maximum statistics for all task instances, CPU time, memory, files and sessions.

show task table

This command displays current statistics for all child and parent facilities running on all cards in the system.
Table 5. show task table Command Output Descriptions
