Using Process Monitor

The Process Monitor can be used to view the status of your process requests.

You can access the Process Monitor by clicking the Process Monitor link on the Schedule Query page or by selecting PeopleTools, and then Process Scheduler, and then Process Monitor.

Process Monitor consists of two pages: the Process List page and the Server List page.

  • The Process List page enables you to monitor the process requests that you have submitted.

    You can select filtering options—for example, process type and run status—to view only selected process requests. And you can click the Details link to view details that are associated with particular process requests.

  • The Server List page enables you to monitor the PeopleSoft Process Scheduler server agents within your system.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Process Monitor - Process List page. Definitions for the fields and controls appear following the example.
