There's your problem - that module is run in the daemon, where the
orte_job_data pointer array isn't used. You have to use the orte_local_jobdata
and orte_local_children lists instead. So once the HNP replies with the jobid,
you look up the orte_odls_job_t for that job from the orte_local_jobdata list.
If you want to find a particular proc, though, you would look under
orte_local_children - search the list for a child whose jobid and vpid both
match.
Note that you will not find that child process -unless- the child is under that
daemon.
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish, so I can't give further advice.
Note that daemons have limited knowledge of application processes that are not
their own immediate children. What little they know regarding processes other
than their own is stored in the nidmap/pidmap arrays - limited to location,
local rank, and node rank. They have no storage currently allocated for things
like the state of a non-local process.

Only after the daemon reports it.
