Processes

To identify an application correctly, at least one process definition is required.

Processes of this application are not allowed to be terminated

This option prevents the processes of this application from being terminated.

If an application is created via the "Add new web application" button, this option is automatically set.

Add/edit process

Process name

The process name.

Match type

The process name can be exact or it can be identified by wildcards (Begins with, Contains, Ends with).

Process path

The path from which the process was started.

Mapped drives

Paths of mapped drives are resolved and should therefore not be used as a path.

Match type

The path can be exact or it can be identified by wildcards (Begins with, Contains, Ends with).

Min-Version

The minimum version of the process relevant for detection. The “file version” of the process is used for comparison.

Max-Version

The highest version of the process relevant for detection. The “file version” of the process is used for comparison.

Notice

Optional notice.

Example

Identify Calculator (calc.exe) application with version 10.2008.2.0 from path C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.2008.2.0_x64

Process name	Match type	Path	Path match type	Min-Version	Max-Version	Identified?	Note
`calc`	`Exact`	-	-	-	-	✅	Recommended
`calc`	`Exact`	`C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_10.2008.2.0_x64`	`Exact`	-	-	✅	Since the version is in the path, no other versions can be identified
`calc`	`Exact`	`Microsoft.WindowsCalculator`	`Contains`	10.0	11	✅	Application is identified because all filter criteria are met
`calc`	`Exact`	`Microsoft.WindowsCalculator`	`Contains`	1.0	2.0	❌	Version is higher than the specified Max-Version and therefore outside the affected area
`calc`	`Exact`	`Microsoft.WindowsCalculator`	`Contains`	10.0	-	✅	Since no Max-Version was specified, all versions higher or equal to the Min-Version are considered.
`calc`	`Exact`	`Microsoft.WindowsCalculator`	`Contains`	-	11.0	✅	Since no Min-Version was specified, all versions lower or equal to the Max-Version are considered.
`calc`	`Exact`	-	-	10.0	11.0	✅	Application is identified because all filter criteria are met
`ca`	`Starts with`	-	-	-	-	✅	Unwanted applications could be identified
`clac`	`Contains`	-	-	-	-	❌	Process name does not match

Identify application Editor (notepad.exe)

Process name	Match type	Identified?	Note
`notepad`	`Exact`	✅	Recommended
`pad`	`Ends with`	✅	Unwanted applications (e.g. wordpad.exe) could be identified
