Creating and Binding to Processes

You can use the Process component to bind to any running process to which you have rights. After the component has been bound to a target process, you can perform several tasks including stopping the process and viewing process statistics. For example, if a Process component has been bound to a process, it will store the starting and stopping time of the target process. You can take this information from the component's properties and assigned them to variables for later use in maintenance applications.
