    This status also provides the following statistical information:

    • The number of clients currently using the Kernel (Active Clients) includes direct clients, relay clients, and Adabas context clients.

    • The maximum number of clients allowed to use the Kernel (Max Clients) is based on the license provided by Software AG when Entire Net-Work was purchased. This count includes direct clients only; relay clients and Adabas context clients are not included in this count.

    • The length of time the Kernel has been running (Age) is shown.

    • The total CPU used (Total CPU) is provided.

    • The percentage of CPU (CPU Share) the Kernel has used since it started is listed.

    • The Kernel's current CPU consumption (Current CPU) is shown.
