For every connection that DB2 makes to a Data Links server on AIX, a dlfm_child back-end process will be started.
To monitor the Data Links File Manager back-end processes, enter the dlfm see command.
If the Data Links File Manager back-end processes started successfully and are running, you will receive output similar to the following:
PID PPID PGID RUSER EUSER ETIME COMMAND
7624 49852 55994 dlfm dlfm 02:44 dlfmd_upcalld
49852 1 55994 dlfm dlfm 02:44 dlfmd
52674 49852 55994 dlfm root 02:44 dlfm_gcd
54214 49852 55994 dlfm dlfm 02:44 dlfmd
54720 49852 55994 dlfm root 02:44 dlfm_retrieved

56510 49852 55994 dlfm root 02:44 dlfm_chownd
If the Data Links File Manager back-end processes did not start successfully, this command will not return any output.
