Windows Version

The iProcess Engine functions are provided by the iProcess nodename Process Sentinels service (where the nodename is the name of your iProcess Engine installation).

You can stop the Process Sentinels service either:

• Manually, from the Services dialog box. For more information, see the following section on Manually stopping iProcess Engine.
• Using the swstop.bat script located in the SWDIR\bin directory. For more information, see Using the swstop.bat Script.
Warning: If you have installed iProcess Engine to a Windows cluster, use the Take offline service in the Microsoft Cluster Administrator to stop the Process Sentinels service.

Do not attempt to stop the Process Sentinels service on a Windows cluster by using Control Panel > Services or the swstop script located in the SWDIR\bin directory.
