Description

The iProcess Engine is now properly installed, configured, and ready to start up.

Node Cluster

Install each node in the cluster before trying to start the iProcess Engine.

Procedure

To start the iProcess Engine:

Note

When you install iProcess Engine with the Oracle database 11g, if the Oracle server and client have been installed on an x86 platform and a non-x86 platform respectively, you must run the following steps before starting iProcess Engine:

Run the following statement:

alter system set events='10867 trace name context forever, level 1';

Log in as the iProcess Engine background user
Enter the following command to start the process sentinels:

$SWDIR/bin/swstart -p

—

If you selected Enable Autostart on the Configuration Options Menu, the process sentinels automatically start all of the iProcess Engine processes.

—

If you did not select Enable Autostart on the Configuration Options Menu, enter the following command to start the iProcess Engine processes

$SWDIR/bin/swstart

Quick Starting and Restarting iProcess Engine

You can also use the following command to quick start the iProcess Engine processes:

SWDIR/bin/swstart -q

You can use the RESTART_SPO_CACHE_PROC process attribute to define how many latest versions of procedure definition to be cached by the iProcess Objects Server processes when restarting the iProcess Objects Server processes or quick starting iProcess Engine; use the RESTART_WIS_CACHE_THRESHOLD process attribute to define the threshold number of work items in a work queue to be cached by the WIS processes when restarting the WIS processes or quick starting iProcess Engine.

For more information about the swstart -q command, see "Controlling the iProcess Engine" in TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator's Guide. For more information about the RESTART_SPO_CACHE_PROC and RESTART_WIS_CACHE_THRESHOLD process attributes, see "Administering Process Attributes" in TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator's Guide.
