Table:Part Dbkey
If the user has a REC wait, the combination of the table number, partition number, and the db key, identifies the record. If the table is not table partitioned, the partition number is 0.
Trans
Transaction (task) number, if one is active. After the broker starts, numbers are assigned sequentially to each transaction that accesses the database.
PID
The process ID as assigned by the operating system. The PID column typically displays (0) for remote clients.
Sem
The number of the semaphore the process is using. Each process uses exactly one semaphore. The database engine uses two semaphores (numbers 1 and 2) internally and assigns the remaining semaphores one at a time (starting with the broker) as database processes log in.
Srv
For remote clients (REMC), the user number of the server the client runs against.
Login
The date the process started.
Time
The time the process started.
IPV#
The IP version.
Remote Address
