Starting iProcess Engine

The iProcess Engine server processes are controlled by Process Sentinels. Process Sentinels must be started first, they then control the start-up of the server processes. If you are using more than one server to host iProcess Engine (a node cluster), Process Sentinels must be started on each server.

Before you can start iProcess Engine, you must ensure that:

1. The iProcess database instance is running.
2. All required message queues are running.
3. The event manager is running. (This means that the event queues and agents are running.)

You can view additional details of the system load stage when the processes and server start. These details help you to know what stage of loading the system has reached. The following screenshots illustrate how you get live updates of the system load stages.

The following sections explain how to start the Windows (see Windows Version) and UNIX versions (see UNIX Version) of iProcess Engine.
