Chapter 2 Configuring the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server : Configuring Auto-Forward and View-Only Queue Access

Configuring Auto-Forward and View-Only Queue Access
Beginning with version 10.5.0 of iProcess Objects Server, the auto-forward and view-only queue access functionality is turned off by default on Windows systems — this older functionality has been superseded by redirection and participation functionality, respectively.
However, if you would still like to use this older functionality, you can turn it on by adding and setting a Registry entry, ensuring you have the Microsoft Access driver installed, then setting DCOM permissions. These are described in the following sections.
Adding Registry Entry
1.
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Staffware plc\Staffware EntObj Server\Nodes\NodeName\DB_Enabled
where NodeName is the name of your TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Staffware plc\...
2.
Setting Up the Microsoft Access Driver
You must have a Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb) ODBC driver set up for the IPEADMIN user to use auto-forward and view-only queue access functions.
To check if you have the Microsoft Access Driver installed, perform one of the following sets if steps, depending on the type of machine you are using:
32-Bit Machine
1.
2.
3.
Click the Drivers tab. If you have the driver installed, there will be an entry for Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb) in the list.
If you do not have the Microsoft Access Driver installed, you must download a copy of it from Microsoft’s website and install it according to their instructions.
64-Bit Machine
Note - Following the steps above to access the ODBC Data Source Administrator does not allow you to view 32-bit drivers.
1.
2.
Create a shortcut that points to "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" with the "Start in" field set to "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64".
3.
4.
Click the Drivers tab. If you have the driver installed, there will be an entry for Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb) in the list.
If you do not have the Microsoft Access Driver installed, you must download a copy of it from Microsoft’s website and install it according to their instructions.
Setting Up DCOM Permissions
You must also set up DCOM permissions to use the auto-forward and view-only queue access functions.
If DCOM is enabled on your machine, you must give the IPEADMIN user Access Permissions and Launch Permissions. And if you are running Windows, you must also give the IPEADMIN user Configuration Permissions (see the note above about the IPEADMIN user).
You may have DCOM enabled without having explicitly set it. For example, Microsoft Web Server enables it as part of its setup.
To Check if DCOM is Enabled
To check if DCOM is enabled, complete these steps:
1.
2.
Click the Start button, then select Run.
3.
Enter dcomcnfg and press OK. This runs the DCOM Configuration Utility.
4.
5.
Right click on My Computer, then select Properties. The My Computer Properties dialog is displayed.
6.
Click the Default Properties tab.
If the Enable Distributed COM check box on this computer is selected, DCOM is enabled and you must complete the steps in Adding Permissions for the IPEADMIN User. Otherwise, DCOM is not enabled — no further action is required.
Adding Permissions for the IPEADMIN User
To give the IPEADMIN user access and launch permissions, complete these steps:
1.
2.
a.
