Using show process/id=xxxxxx for a process not on local node

Is it possible to issue a show process/id command for a process that is NOT on the local node? I know that when using the process name,the node:: can be appended. Is there any similar mechanism when using the /ID qualifier?

Thanks,

Chaim

Hi Chaim, yes you can use the /ID qualifer to specify a PID from another node within the cluster, however the /CONTINIOUS qualifer only works on PIDs on the node you're logged in under.

Kind Regards

Chaim,

when the other node is in the same cluster, you can just specify its PID.

To view processes on remote nodes extern to your cluster, you may use SYSMAN, or e.g.
a package like JPI (I've added the releasenotes).

Chaim,

process-ids (PIDs) are unique cluster-wide, so you can use a PID to obtain data for processes running on another node in the cluster.

As John already said, SHOW/PROC/CONT/ID=xxx only supports local PIDs.

Thanks for the replies!

Actually, I had confused the /continuous behavior and realized myself that without this qualifier I cane show a process using the unique PID.

Speaking of which, isn't it about time the SHOW SYSTEM command supported '/USER='?
