Editing the SWDIR\etc\staffcfg File

The default file contains a number of parameters most of which define the limits within which iProcess Suite is initially setup to work. There are also a number of other parameters which, when tuned, can give significant improvements in both performance and response. You should be extremely careful when editing the staffcfg file. Careless changes can have a serious impact on system operation or performance. If you are in any doubt about whether or not to edit a specific parameter, please contact TIBCO Support for assistance.

If you want to add, remove or update parameters in the staffcfg file, which is under the SWDIR\etc directory:

1.	Log in to as a user who (on Windows) is a member of the iProcess Administrators group or, (on UNIX) as user root.

2.	Edit the file as required.

3.	If necessary, ask all users to log out of iProcess Suite, then stop and restart the server.

SWDIR\etc\staffcfg File Format

The staffcfg file is an ASCII file containing a number of lines, divided into functional sections:

•	Each section is headed by the section name at the start of a line, followed by a number of configuration lines.

•	Each configuration line starts with a TAB character followed by the configuration name (e.g. MAXCASES), followed by a comma (,) followed by the configuration value.

•	Anything from a semicolon (;) to the end of the line is treated as a comment and ignored.

Using Multiple Copies of SWDIR\etc\staffcfg

You can use different copies of the staffcfg file to optimize performance. For example, you can create one version which is optimized for batch processing, to be used at night, and another version which is optimized for user interaction, to be used during the day. You can then change the iProcess Suite’s configuration by using batch files to:

1.	Stop the server using the SWDIR\bin\swstop command. See Stopping iProcess Engine for more informaiton.

You do not need to shut down Process Sentinels.

2.	Copy the appropriate version of the staffcfg file to the SWDIR\etc directory.

3.	Restart the server. See Starting iProcess Engine for more information.

•	WQS Section

•	FORM Section
