Setting Up iProcess Engine with an IPv6 Address

Status

Installing a new iProcess Engine Version 11.8.0	Possibly required
Upgrading from an iProcess Engine Version 11.0 or later	Possibly required

Database

Oracle, DB2

Description

If you want to use iProcess Engine with an IPv6 Address, you need to set up your iProcess Engine. The IPv4 address is used for iProcess Engine by default.

To use LDAP server with an IPv6 address, you need to add an IPv6 address as a host name when setting up the LDAP server connection. See "Setting Up the Connection" in LDAPCONF Utility User’s Guide.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to set up IPv6 in iProcess Engine:

Note	The network and machines that host iProcess Engine servers or clients must support IPv6.

Configure your database to support IPv6.

— Oracle To configure IP addresses for Oracle, edit the tnsnames.ora file, which is located in the ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory. Set the value of the HOST parameter to the IPv6 address. The ORACLE_HOME directory specifies where your Oracle database installs into. For more information about how to edit the tnsnames.ora file, see Oracle documentation.

—

DB2 To configure IP addresses for DB2, add an IPv6 node entry to the DB2 node directory. See Configuring a TCP/IP Connection to the Database for more information about how to add a node to the DB2 node directory.

Stop iProcess Engine by running the following commands:

$SWDIR/bin/swstop

$SWDIR/bin/swstop -p

3. Configure the STAFFCFG file, which is located in the $SWDIR/etc directory. Change the value of the IPPROPTOCOL parameter to 6:

IPPROTOCOL, 6; 4 is IPV4, 6 is IPV6

For more information about the IPPROTOCOL parameter see "Tuning the iProcess Engine Using SWDIR\etc\staffcfg Parameters" in TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator’s Guide.

Restart iProcess Engine.
