RE: Light scans

I have spotted the light scans on our server many times by using onstat -g = lsc. I am not aware any environment variable has been set for this. However, the output from "onstat -g lsc" does not indicate which session = has caused the light scans. I have tried searching SMI tables for the = information but could not find any. Does anyone know whether session = number is recorded anywhere along with the light scans info? I know some = hard ways to get the session number (altimately application program) , eg. = by looking at sessions' start time against the time the light scans = occurred (roughly) or by running one application program each time) Cheers.

You can monitor light scans using onstat -g = lsc. You need to run this at the time the light scan is being performed in = order to see any action. As yet I do not know what environment variable (if any) is required to = enable light scans.
