Hi

What is the connection between executing background jobs/database processes in IFS and actual database session? 
In 25R1 i have 2 jobs. Both are executing and have been executing for a while. 
 


I can see that 1 of them have a process id, and therefore a database process. We can also only see a database session for that 1.

 Is it normal behaviour for a job to sit in executing status without a process ID? And does there being a process = a database session.

All queues are set up with 1 process, so them being in different queues shouldnt matter. Or am i wrong about that
