Displaying Transaction Activity
In this example, the STATUS TRANSACTIONS command was issued at \SYS1.
Transaction \SYS1.0.40302 was started on \SYS1 and has accessed \SYS2 and
\SYS3, which appear in the output as children.
The same command issued on \SYS2 would show the following information:
Transaction Identifier Process State Parent Children
---------------------- ------- ----- ------ --------
\SYS1.0.40302 (3,54) active \SYS1
\SYS2 is unaware of the part of the transaction that affects \SYS3 and vice versa; only
\SYS1 knows about \SYS2 and \SYS3.
In the next example, \SYS2 accesses a server on a remote system, \SYS4. The
originating system is only aware of its immediate children; therefore, the STATUS
TRANSACTIONS command on \SYS1 still shows the following information:
Transaction Identifier Process State Parent Children
---------------------- ------- ----- ------ --------
\SYS1.0.40302 (3,54) active \SYS2
\SYS3
However, \SYS2 has knowledge that the transaction involves \SYS4. The STATUS
TRANSACTIONS command as viewed from \SYS2 would show the following
information:
Transaction Identifier Process State Parent Children
---------------------- ------- ----- ------ --------
\SYS1.0.40302 (0,54) active \SYS1 \SYS4
When multiple transactions are displayed, you can use the SORT option in the
STATUS TRANSACTION command to list the transactions in order of transaction
identifier, process handle, process state, transaction start time, or name of the backout
process handling the transaction.
See the TMF Reference Manual for complete instructions on using the STATUS
TRANSACTIONS command.
Table 2-3 describes the information in the STATUS TRANSACTIONS display.
