[Link] is the main settings and configuration file for web application.
It is an XML document that resides in the root directory of the site or application and contains data about how the web application will act.
This information controls module loading, security configuration, session state configuration, and application language and compilation
settings.
[Link] files can also contain application specific items such as database connection strings.
[Link]
Uses
- The changes in [Link] don't require the reboot of the web server.
- store database connections, Session States, Error Handling, Security configurations in [Link] file.
- The changes in [Link] don't require the reboot of the web server.
- store database connections, Session States, Error Handling, Security configurations in The Official Microsoft [Link] Site [Link] file.
config files simply store the Database Configurations,Session Storage,Login checkings..etc. i.e, opening a database
connection,inserting,selecting,deleting data from the database.
In config files,we open a database connection,and include config file in other pages and use that connection rather than opening a connection
for every page.

Every since the entry into service of IIS 6 (which comes with Windows 2003) the notion of application pools was introduced. An application pool is a means of
isolation a web-application, so that the errors it may encounter will not influence other web applications executing on the server or the IIS server itself. If the
default settings for an application pool are used a single [Link] process is used to execute the web-applications that are hosted in the pool. In the diagram
below, applications A and B are hosted by pool 1 while applications C and D each have their own dedicated pool, pool 2 and pool 3 respectively.
The problem is that when it comes to [Link] processes for the diagram above, there are three of them and just by looking in the task manager there is no easy
way to tell them apart. Each instance of a [Link] process has a PID (short for process identifier), but the question is which PID belongs to which application pool.
In IIS 6 (Windows 2003):
The easy way to solve this problem was to call a Visual Basic script file that was located in the %windir%\system32\folder. The file was called
[Link], and the output of this command listed the instances of [Link] present on the system, their PIDs and to which application pool they belonged to.
In IIS 7 (Windows 2008) and IIS 7.5 (Windows 2008 R2)
The Visual Basic script file has been removed. Most of the IIS 6 script files that were dedicated to a single task (like [Link]) have been integrated into a
command line utility that can be used to administer the IIS server as a whole. This utility is called [Link] and it is located in
the %windir%\system32\inetsrv\ folder.
CAUTION: to access the tool you must launch the command line prompt with administrator rights, otherwise it will not work. To do this simply right click on a
command line short cut and chose 'Run as Administrator' from the context menu.
Then navigate to the folder where appcmd is located and run the following command: appcmd list wp – this will list all the instances of the [Link]
process (worker process) that are present on your server with their respective PIDs and application pools.
Other nice commands are appcmd list sites and appcmd list appPools to list the web sites that are present on the server and the
appcmd, you may continue reading this article:

Blog Purpose:
This blog post will show the different methods to identify the process ID (PID) for an active worker
process ([Link]) for an application pool
Method 1: - Internet Manager UI
Open IIS Manager
In the Connections pane, select the server node in the tree
In Features View, double-click Worker Processes
View the list of worker processes in the grid
Method 2: - Appcmd
Appcmd is used to list out the running worker processes. The path to the utility is not set and
running directly from the command prompt will fail. Use the following instructions to set the path for
the utility.
Location of [Link] %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv
64-bit Windows, use [Link] from the %windir%\system32\inetsrv directory, not the
%windir%\syswow64\inetsrv directory.
Set the path to the location
Start -> Computer -> Right Click ->Properties
Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables
System Variables -> Path -> Edit
Add C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
To start [Link]
Click Start, and then click All Programs.
Click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
At the Command Prompt, > cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv, and then press ENTER if the path
is not set. Otherwise, enter appcmd on the command line
To List the started worker processes
>appcmd list wps
For complete listing of appcmds Listing of IIS 7+ Appcmd
Method 3: - Task Manager
Start Task Manager
Select the Processes tab
Add the following columns from View->Select Columns
o PID
o Command Line
Sort the Image column and find the [Link] process name
Expand the Command Line column and the worker process name is on the far right
Method 4: - Process Explorer
Download Process Explorer from [Link]
us/sysinternals/[Link]
In Process Explorer, add the following columns from View->Select Columns->Process Image
tab
o Image Path
o PID
o Image Type (64 vs. 32 bit)
o Command Line
Find the [Link] in the Process column and the [Link] processes are listed
Expand the Command Line column and the worker process is listed
