Chapter 6 Managing and Monitoring Process Engines : Starting or Stopping a Process Engine

Starting or Stopping a Process Engine

After you have deployed an application, you can change the process engine state from different parts of TIBCO Administrator:

•

In the Application Management > All Service Instances console, click the check box next to a service or process, and then choose the appropriate button, which becomes available.

•

In the Application Management module, select the All Service Instances console and click the service instance name. In the window that is displayed, select the General tab. State has a clickable word next to it that allows you to start or stop service instances.

•

In the Application Management module, select the Service Instances console for the application, click the check box next to a service instance, and then choose the appropriate button, which becomes available.

•

You can start a service instance when it is deployed, or you can explicitly start services after deployment. See Deploying an Application for information about starting services when deploying.

•

TIBCO Administrator itself is also listed as component software.

Shutting down the administration server is not recommended. You cannot start a stopped server from TIBCO Administrator.

You can, however, restart the administration server if you are using a database domain or have a secondary server defined in the domain: Select the server and choose Restart, which stops and restarts the server. In that case, a "page cannot be displayed" error results in the TIBCO Administrator GUI. You must invoke TIBCO Administrator GUI again and log in once more.

If you shut down the administration server, all currently running services and processes in the domain will continue to run. However, you can no longer monitor any project and you cannot restart any component in case of failure. In addition, some components load configuration information on demand which will fail if the administration server is not available.

To start or stop a process engine, perform the following procedure:

1.

Under Application Management, select All Service Instances or go directly to a specific application and select All Service Instances.

2.

Select the service instances, process engines or both to start and click Start.

Click Stop or Kill to shutdown the service instance or process engine. See All Service Instances Dialog for more information.
