rootpid is unique for each run?

[Anjalivnr]

Hi All ,

Im using the talend inbuilt logging mechanism in my project. There are three files generated. stats , meter and log files. Im trying to identify a unique value in all these three files. Can someone confirm whether root_pid in all these files will be unique for each run.?

Thanks.

@Anjali Ramesh​ , As per my knowledge root_pid will be same for all those three files for the each run.

Root_pid: Process ID of the root Job if applicable. If not applicable, pid of current Job is duplicated.

Hi

Yes, the rootpid is always the same in the main job and all it's child jobs. For more details about pid, father_pid and root_pid, you can read this topic.

@Manohar B​ .. Hi Manohar ,

root_pid always generated some 6 digits alpha numeric. like PeEfel. Today i when the job , i noticed root_pid was generated like 20200921163537_o23cr. the datetimestamp was appended to the root_pid. can you help , in what case root_pid will always be generated with timestamp.

@Anjali Ramesh​ , Yes I have tested and root_pid is 6 digits of alpha numeric. I do not understand how it has generated with date ? have you changed any setting in Talend regarding root_pid?

Thanks,

Hi Manohar ,

I ran the job from remote server. Guess that could be the reason. Not sure though

@Anjali Ramesh​ ,it could be that server root_pid they might have set that way.
