8.4.4.7 Identifying a Running Batch Process

At times, you may need to know the name of a currently running batch, or verify that a batch is active. For example, during intra-day detection processing, many batches may be running simultaneously and you need to identify one or more by name. To identify a running batch process, use the following procedure.

Caution:

If you set the batch control logging to display at the console, be aware that log messages are mixed with the output of the shell script; the output can be difficult to read.

Obtaining a Batch Name

To obtain a batch name, follow these steps:

1. Access the directory where the shell script resides:

   cd <INSTALL_DIR>/database/db_tools/bin

2. Start the batch shell script: get_mantas_batch.sh

   The name of the currently running batch is written to standard output (See Configuring Console Output, for more information).
