Submited job

Question

hi,
How can i find the sid of a submitted job? I can see the job running in dba_scheduler_jobs view but can't figure out on how to relate in v$session. Also, I would like to know the OS process id of this particular job.
appreciate any input.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. I have a follow-up question. The submitted job creates another job which really does the work. It's somewhat there's a parent job and child created and would like to find the session of the child job.
I can see the parent which is great but would like to see what the child job is doing.
Thanks.Well,
You should go with DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_appinf.htm#CHECEIEB
Your child job will call something: lets say procedure which is called MYPROC1. That procedure will look like something like below:
create or replace procedure myproc1
as
begin
DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE( module_name => 'myproc1', action_name => 'myproc1 is called by child job');
--- procedure code ....
DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE( module_name => ' ', action_name => ' ');
end;What will happen here: When your child job starts execution, corresponding record in V$SESSION can be identified filtering on ACTION field.:
select * from v$session where action like '%myproc1 is called by child job%'As an alternative method, you can use: DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_CLIENT_INFO('I am child job which is created by parent job') then filter CLIENT_INFO field in $SESSION;
Hope you catch my idea.
