What you can do with threads
Since threads help jobs process more than one operation at a time while running, monitoring the threads that are running within a job may be necessary. This helps you to keep the job running efficiently. You can use iSeries™ Navigator to find the thread you want to manage.
After you have located the thread, you can right-click the thread and select one of the following actions:
- Reset Statistics
- Allows you to reset the list information you are viewing, and it sets the elapsed time to 00:00:00.
- Details
- Because the functions of a thread are similar to that of a job, they share some of the same actions. Details contains detailed information about the following thread actions:
- Call stack
- Library list
- Locked Objects
- Transactions
- Elapsed Performance Statistics
- Hold
- Allows you to hold the thread. Threads can be held multiple times. The operating system keeps track of the number of times a thread is held.
- Release
- Releases the thread that was held. The thread must be released each time that it is held in order for it to run.
- Delete/End
- Allows you to end the selected thread or threads.
- Thread Properties
- Displays the different attributes of a thread.
For more detailed information about the actions you can perform on threads, see the iSeries Navigator online help.
