Process agent is an agent that starts, terminates or monitors the process designated by a user.
Process means that an application achieves a single process.
The execution binary should have the same name as the process residing in the memory.
The execution binary program should be installed in the same directory on every node. It cannot be installed in the data areas such as mirror disks or shared disks.

Adding

Add the basic application resource to a group.

  1. Select a group → right click → 'Add Resource'.


  2. Select 'Process' from Resource Type lists and click 'Next' button.

  3. Enter the resource name and then the process name.
    You can add a process to the dialogue by pressing the  'File' button on the right.

    The default user for running the basic app is the user that runs the MCCS process.
    If the process needs to run for another user other than the default user, then you must designate an execution account as follows.

Status

The following table explains the status switching of the MCCS resource caused by a user's command and the status.
The command assumes that it is generated by a user.

Process agent: Manages the general processes.

StatusAgent commandDesctriptionNote

Online

The registered process is running.

Offline

Terminate an ongoing process by sending the termination signal (TerminateProcess) to it.

 
Monitoring

 It periodically monitors whether the process runs in the memory.
For the monitoring purpose, the operational status is checked by using the process name that includes the absolute path and the process ID (PID).

 

Offline

The registered process is terminated.

Online

 In the attributes of basic application, run the program designated in the Path.
Path attribute is the absolute path for a program existing on the system.

Trouble

  

When the online process is switched to offline without using the agent termination command, it is defined as the trouble state.
