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.

As far as I know, there is no such settings.

Technically, there is nothing but probability that guarantees the uniqeness of the root_pid.

However, root_pid can be set when running a job from outside the Studio by appending "--root_pid=<your_value>" as parameter.

For example :

java -Xms128M -Xmx2048M -cp ...  project_name.job_name_0_1.JOB_NAME --context=CTX --root_pid=20200928-144100-xxx

Very useful when you use external scheduler. And that's probably what's done with the remote server execution.
