Status            (Overview)

DESCRIPTION
"Status" shows the status of a transaction currently executing in a given
Transaction Server (TS). 


VALUES
"Status" can be one of the following:

   COBOL     - the TS is executing a COBOL program.
   IDLE      - the TS is idle.
   Sun MTP   - the TS is executing Sun MTP code.
   USER EXIT - the TS is executing a user exit.
   WAITBUF   - the TS is waiting for a Sun MTP buffer.
   WAITENQ   - the transaction is waiting on an Enqueued resource.
   WAITFILE  - the TS is waiting for a physical file I/O operation to be 
	       completed.
   WAITFLUSH - the transaction is waiting for the before image recovery buffer
	       to be sent to the Recovery Server.
   WAITRBUF  - the transaction is waiting on a recovery buffer.
   WAITREC   - the transaction is waiting for a record that another transaction
	       has currently reserved.
   WAITRECOV - the transaction is waiting for the Recovery Processor to 
	       complete a before image write.
   WAITSAP   - the TS is executing Micro Focus Animator.
   WAITSEM   - the transaction is waiting on one of the Sun MTP system's 
	       semaphores (see the Semaphores Screen).
   WAITSEMRB - is not used.
   WAITSTART - the transaction is waiting for the expiration of an interval
	       control command.
   WAITTERM  - the transaction is waiting for terminal input.
   WAITXFILE - the transaction is waiting for exclusive access to a VSAM file.


INTERPRETATION
'USER EXIT' occurs at the start and end of each transaction and when the TS 
starts up and shuts down. 'WAITBUF' occurs when the TS is waiting for a Sun MTP 
buffer that is required to obtain the record of the VSAM file the application 
program has requested. 'WAITENQ' occurs when one program issues an ENQ command 
and another program already has the resource that is requested. The program is 
suspended until the resource is dequeued. 'WAITRBUF' occurs if before images
are required by the transaction and no buffers are available.  The transaction
must wait until the Recovery buffer is available.


CONCLUSIONS
The "Status" column allows the administrator to determine what each Transaction
Server is working on or if it is in a wait state.
