Identifying Operating System PID for a Task

Identifying operating system PID numbers is a task in the Process of Mapping Tasks with Operating System Data. Identify operating system process ID numbers (PID) for tasks by one of the following methods:

• From the Server Manager GUI

• From the Siebel Server log file

• From the Task log file

Note: PIDs are only available in the Server Manager for running tasks.

To identify operating system PID for a task from the Server Manager GUI

1. Access the Siebel Server component task list. For details on this procedure, see Monitoring Server Component Task State.

2. Query the task list for a specific Siebel Server component task or task ID.

3. Note the value in the PID field for that particular task.

To identify operating system PID for a task from a Siebel Server log file

1. Access a Siebel Server log file by using the Server Manager GUI. For details on this procedure, see Monitoring Siebel Server Log Files.

   Also access Siebel Server log files by:

   • Using the Log File Analyzer. For details on this procedure, see Querying System Log Files.

   • Opening the log file itself. For details on locations and naming convention of Siebel Server log files, see About Siebel Server Log Files.

2. Review the Text field of each log file entry for the Siebel Server component of interest.

3. The Text field of each Siebel Server component log file entry also contains the process ID number started for this component task.

To identify operating system PID for a task from a task log file

1. Access the Siebel Server component task log file of interest. For details on locations and naming convention of Siebel Server component task log files, see Configuring Siebel Server and Component Logging.

2. The first entry of the task log file contains the header information. The header information contains the PID number. For a parsing of the header file and to identify the PID number, see About Event Attributes and Log File Format.
