Identifying unmanaged processes

To identify which processes are started but not managed by the ncp_ctrl process, issue a query to the services.unManaged database.

Insertions into the services.unManaged table are made by other Network Manager components in order to start and stop their subprocesses; for example, the ncp_disco process uses the ncp_ctrl process to start the finders.

To identify unmanaged processes:

  1. Log in to the Ctrl service using either the OQL Service Provider or the OQL Workbench:
    • Start the OQL Service Provider by typing a command similar to the following:
      ncp_oql -domain DOMAIN_NAME -service Ctrl
    • Log in to the OQL Workbench and select the Ctrl service.
  2. Issue one of the following command to list unmanaged processes:
    1. Issue the following command to list all unmanaged processes:
      select * from services.unManaged;
      go
    2. Issue the following command to list all only dependent unmanaged processes:
      select * from services.unManaged
      WHERE dependency is not NULL;
      go
