EXAMPLE

In the following example, the names as well as the process IDs of WinCC_OA managers are returned and output.

  1. main(mapping event)


{


  string pName;


  int i, pID;


  for (int i = 0; i < pmonGetCount(); i++)


  {


   pID   = pmonGetPID(i);


   pName = pmonGetName(i);


   DebugN("Manager name: ", pName, "Process ID of the manager:", pID);


  }


 }

The function outputs the names as well as the process IDs of the managers as follows:

WCCOAui2:["Manager name: "]["WCCILpmon"]["PID:"][8032]

WCCOAui2:["Manager name: "]["WCCILdata"]["PID:"][5168]
