  • Patent number: 7664985
    Abstract: In a method and a device for monitoring and reestablishment of a number of processes in a distributed application environment, wherein each process is associated with a process group and all processes of a process group are functionally dependent on one another, a process can be automatically excepted from the monitoring and automatically admitted again into the monitoring. All processes of a process group are automatically monitored and, in the event that a termination is identified, all processes in the process group are automatically restarted.
