Note:
The function can only be used on a local computer. A remote UI cannot query the PMON of a server. The function does not work if WinCC_OA has been started as service. In cannot query the PMON of a server. The function does not work if WinCC_OA has been started as service. In this case, use pmon_query with the command MGRLIST and the sub command STATI. See chapter Details on the Pmon.

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:
