Hi Michael, All processes spawned by IDS are all oninit, which in Informx langauage is called virtual processor (VP). The function of each oninit is different, which is called a virtual processor class. To get the details of which oninit (VP) is doing what, you can run onstat -g glo and map the process id of the oninit with the pid columnof the output and you would know what task each oninit is doing. oninit (VP) can only pass a task to another oninit if that oninit is doing the same task. This is done automatically within IDS since oninits performing the same task share the same queue. For a more detailed description of each oninit refere to the Administrator's Guide.
