V$SESSION.CLIENT_INFO


Notes:

To help identify RMAN processes, use the SET COMMAND ID command to populate the CLIENT_INFO column of the V$SESSION view. By default, the processes might look like this:
SID SERIAL# OSID PROGRAM CLIENT_INFO
--------- ---------- ------- ---------- --------------------------
16 132 10281 RMAN.EXE
17 175 10283 RMAN.EXE
18 28 10285 RMAN.EXE rman channel=ORA_SBT_TAPE_1

However, we can see that SID 18 process is not clearly marked. This was the tape IO slave started because I had the parameter BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVE set to TRUE to enable asynchronous writes to the tape device.
See the supplied script set_command_id.rman for this code.
Warning: On my client, placing the SET command before the ALLOCATE command caused a fatal RMAN error.
