The Database Console (program X_CONS) is a tool that gives you a quick overview of the operating system resources being used by the database system, the distribution of the database sessions among the operating system threads, and the status of the active database sessions.

·        Windows
The console thread, a special thread, processes requests from the Database Console. To do this, the X_CONS program communicates with the console thread.

·        UNIX
The database console receives some of the information it requires directly from the shared memory area of the database kernel, and some of the information from the communication between X_CONS and the console thread.

Database Console Commands

You have the following options for using the Database Console:

·        Starting the X_CONS program from the operating system level:
x_cons <database_name> <command> [<time>] [<count>]
For an overview of all possible commands, use the command:
x_cons <database_name> help

·        If you are using an SAP system, you can call the database console from the CCMS.
For details on this, see the following documentation:
Database Administration in CCMS: SAP DB OLTP, section Database Console
Database Administration in CCMS: liveCache, section Console
