Abstract
A method and system for process tracking is disclosed. A first process is associated with an identity of a job, wherein the first process is launched by an outsourcing process to process the job. A second process is created locally. The second process is associated with the identity of the job to enable the second process to manage the first process based on the identity.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- associating a first process with an identity of a job, wherein the first process is launched by an outsourcing process to process the job;
- locally creating a second process;
- associating the second process with the identity of the job to enable the second process to manage the first process based on the identity;
- and
- locally creating a third process for communicating with the outsourcing process to launch the first process.
A system for process tracking, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory coupled to at least one of the one or more processors;
- a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the one or more processors to perform actions of:
- associating a first process with an identity of a job, wherein the first process is launched by an outsourcing process to process the job;
- locally creating a second process;
- associating the second process with the identity of the job to enable the second process to manage the first process based on the identity;
- locally creating a third process for communicating with the outsourcing process to launch the first process.
A computer program product being tangibly stored on a non-transient machine-readable medium and comprising machine-executable instructions, the instructions, when executed on a device, causing the device to perform actions including:
- obtaining an identity of a job;
- determining a first process from descendent processes of an outsourcing process;
- associating the first process with the identity of the job, wherein the first process is launched by the outsourcing process to perform the job;
- locally creating a second process;
- associating the second process with the identity of the job to enable the second process to manage the first process based on the identity;
- and
- managing the first process and the second process.
