Below are some of the process names you should be knowing while working on Informatica issues or checks.

1. java
2. _Adminconsole
3. pmrepagent
4. pmserver
5. pmdtm

1. Java and Adminconsole:

java process is the main process in informatica powercenter which starts the node. If the node is configured as Gateway node, then it will spawn another process which will run admin console.

Apart from node process, there are other java processes also runs if you have configured multiple services such as Metadata Manager Service, Model Repository service, Web Service hub etc,.

2. pmrepagent:

If you want to search for power center repository service process, then search for pmrepagent. If there are multiple processes, you need to check the logs in admin console for the respective PID.

3. pmserver:

pmserver refers to the Integration service process. If the Integration service runs on grid, you will find the process on all the nodes in grid. If it is configured as primary and secondary nodes, then it will be available on only one node.

4. pmdtm:

pmdtm is the process spawned by the workflow which is also called the session task processs. When you see number of pmdtm jobs running on server then all the process are running different sessions.
