ADSM provides you with a number of methods for monitoring export or import processes.
After you issue an EXPORT or IMPORT command, the server starts a background process, assigns a process ID to the operation, and displays the process ID when the operation starts.
You can query an export or import process by specifying the process ID number. For example, to request information about the EXPORT SERVER operation, which started as process 4, enter:
query process 4
If you issue a preview version of an EXPORT or IMPORT command and then query the process, ADSM reports the types of objects to be copied, the number of objects to be copied, and the number of bytes to be copied.
When you export or import data and then query the process, ADSM displays the number and types of objects copied so far, and the total number of bytes that have been transferred, along with information on any media mount requests that may be outstanding for the process.
For guidance information on querying background processes, see "Requesting Information about Server Processes".
When you issue an IMPORT or EXPORT command, either from the server console or from an administrative client, information is displayed on the server console. Figure 57 shows an example of the information that is displayed after issuing an EXPORT SERVER command.

Use the console mode from an administrative client to monitor export or import operations or to capture processing messages to an output file. For example, to start an administrative session in console mode, enter:
> dsmadmc -consolemode
While the system is running in console mode, you cannot enter any administrative commands from the client session. You can, however, start another administrative client session for entering commands (for example, QUERY PROCESS) if you are using a multitasking workstation, such as OS/2 or AIX.
If you want ADSM to write all terminal output to a file, specify the OUTFILE option with a destination. For example, to write output to the SAVE.OUT file, enter:
> dsmadmc -consolemode -outfile=save.out
For information about using the CONSOLE mode option and ending an administrative session in console mode, see ADSM Administrator's Reference.
After an export or import process has completed, you can query the activity log for status information and possible error messages.
To minimize processing time when querying the activity log for export or import information, restrict the search by specifying export or import in the SEARCH parameter of the QUERY ACTLOG command.
For example, to determine how much data will be moved after issuing the preview version of the EXPORT SERVER command, query the activity log by entering:
query actlog search=export
Figure 58 displays a sample activity log report.
