HP 5992-3838 manual One one pid per running application

Field Description

Is visible?By default during initial discovery, HP Application Discovery sets objects recognized as packages to "no" and objects recognized as templates to "yes".

This field designates whether or not the application shall be visible to users of the HP Application Discovery user interface:

•yes – show the application data associated with this object.

•no – hide the application data associated with this object.

NOTE: Visibility actually has no affect on template matching, but is included here as a convenience. It is a global setting that allows you to control data presentation in all HP Application Discovery screens. It is not stored as a user preference.

Pid scope	How many process identifiers (pids) are allowed in an application:
	• one — one pid per running application.
	Effect: Each new concurrent run of this application is shown as a separate instance
	from the others in HP Application Discovery.
	• session – any number of pids per application for the duration of one terminal
	group session.
	Effect: All associated pids are treated as one running application instance for that
	session. However, because sessions on HP-UX and Linux are maintained per user,
	this has the effect of delineating running applications per user. Thus, if you log in
	twice (two concurrent terminal windows), you can have two separate instances of
	this running application. This effect is similar to that obtained by setting user
	scope=one.
	• any – any number of pids per application.
	Effect: Pids have no specific effect on defining the application described by this
	template.
User scope	How many users' processes can be associated with one instance of this application:
	• one – one user's processes per application.
	Effect: A separate instance of this application will be shown for each different user
	who runs this application. This effect is similar to that obtained by setting pid
	scope=session.
	• any – any number of different users per application.
	Effect: Number of users has no specific limiting effect on defining the application
	described by this template. That is, only one instance is recognized, regardless of
	how many users are running the application concurrently.
is pidtree	Shall child processes spawned by the parent be considered part of the parent application
	instance or as a separate instance:
	• no – child processes are not considered part of the parent application instance. This
	is the default value.
	Effect: Child processes will be shown as separate application instances in HP
	Application Discovery.
	• yes – child processes are considered part of the parent application instance.
	Effect: Child processes will not be shown as separate application instances in HP
	Application Discovery.
