We are finding that one of our agents is running up multiple instances of the process “DataMiner GQI.ExtensionsWorker.Automation”. some of these instances are then eventually dropped before the DMA creates another instance.
Should this process be respawning in the way that we are seeing or is it the process crashing then respawning with a different process ID
Hi Robert,
This is expected behaviour, the GQI runner spawns a separate automation process for every ad-hoc datasource that is used.
This is to ensure that issues in one data-source (or crashes) does not impact the other data-sources.
If you enable the command line column in task manager, you can see each of these ave a different ID and thus which process is used for which data source.
For completeness, the purpose and behavior of these processes is described here: https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/devguide/GQI_Extensions/GQI_Extensions_Architecture.html#extension-worker-processes
Thank you for the answer Brent
