SCBroker and AOM component process query

Hi,

I was going through SCBroker pdf in the bookshelf and curious to know the answer of below questions:

Question 1:
==============
Bookshelf: "As the nonresponsive process will have the least number of tasks, with the least-loaded scheme for SCBroker, all new tasks would be routed to the unresponsive process."

• How can we know which process of the AOM component is unresponsive?
• How can we identify what and how many the tasks/threads are running for any process for any AOM component?

Question 2:
==============
Bookshelf: "Patterns of requests for new tasks and patterns of threads being freed up through logouts.

• What does patterns means here?"
