On the /running page of the NC project, under the Progress column there is a indication of how much CPU the job is consuming. This column appears to be controlled by the CPUPROGRESS property of a job. I've noticed recently (particularly with the Cadence ADE-XL tool) that it does not report on the CPU consumption of child processes as well. For example, with the ADE-XL tool, there is a job that is submitted to NC (process A), the vw wrapper (process B) and then the actual Spectre process spawned by process A (process C). It appears that I get a report on the progress of process A (which is 0% most of the time), but what I am most interested in is the progress of process C (the actual Spectre process) - Is there a way to aggregate this information to display in the GUI?
Reporting Job Progress
Steve,
actually, the system is monitoring a job and all its children. On which platform have you observed the behavior you are reporting?
You can test the workings of the system with the command "vovps -c PID" which shows you all the children of process PID.
Andrea.
I discovered that the system
I discovered that the system is monitoring all of them shortly after posting this. Turns out that the process I'm interested in is in fact not a child of the job itself. Thanks for the response.
