Run a New Process

To start a new process running on a server, use the following command:

swadm add_process machine_id | machine_name process_name enabled

where:

•

machine_id is the unique identifier for the server.

•

machine_name is the descriptive name of the server.

•

process_name is the process name of the server process you want to run.

If process_name is BG, BGPREDICT, DBQD, DLMGR, SPO, or DIRECTOR the process starts as soon as Process Sentinels re-cache the changes to the process_config table. If process_name is any other process (i.e. a foreground process), the process does not start until iProcess Engine is restarted.

•

enabled is used to specify if you want the process to run immediately (Y) or whether it is added to the process_config table but is currently disabled (N).

Notes

All foreground processes (see Server Processes) must run on the master server.

Example

To start a new instance of the Background Mbox Daemon process on server2 so that it runs immediately, enter the following command:

# swadm add_process server2 bg Y
