Overview

To function correctly, each EAI step type in TIBCO iProcess Modeler requires an associated EAI server plug-in to be installed and registered on every server in the TIBCO iProcess Engine node cluster that runs background processes.

Note:

The following plug-ins are automatically installed when you install iProcess Engine:

• TIBCO iProcess COM Server Plug-in (on Windows only; during installation you choose whether or not to register the Plug-in.)
• TIBCO iProcess Script Server Plug-in
• TIBCO iProcess Database Server Plug-in
• TIBCO iProcess EMail Server Plug-in
• TIBCO iProcess Plug-in SDK

For installation of these plug-ins, see iProcess Engine installation guide for your platform/database. For other EAI plug-ins, see the specific EAI server plug-in installation guide for installation information.

See “Using Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Steps” in TIBCO iProcess Modeler Integration Techniques for information about how to use EAI steps in your procedures.

You can, however, design procedures using an EAI client plug-in for which you have not installed the corresponding EAI server plug-in. This is useful if you want to prepare for porting a procedure to a different platform in the future. If you use an EAI client plug-in without having the relevant EAI server plug-in installed, the EAI step that you create is not processed at run time and an error message is displayed. The error informs you that the step is incompatible with the connected database, and so will not be processed.

Although the installation, upgrading, and registration of most EAI plug-ins are handled automatically by iProcess Engine installation, you can use this utility to:

• Register or re-register an EAI server plug-in - see Register/Re-register (upgrade) an EAI Plug-In.
• Unregister an EAI server plug-in - see Unregister (Remove) an EAI Plug-In.
• Modify parts of an existing EAI server plug-in’s registry entry - see Modify an Existing EAI Plug-In Entry.
• list EAI server plug-in registry entries - see List Existing EAI Plug-In Registry Entries
• manually request iProcess Engines to reload EAI server plug-ins - see Reload an EAI Plug-in
• get the release version of an EAI server plug-in - see Get Release Version Stored in EAI Plug-In.

See Possible Errors When Using sweaireg for information about solving possible errors you might encounter when using sweaireg.

To run sweaireg, you must be logged in to iProcess Engine as an Administrator or (on UNIX) as a background user or root user.
