# Setting Up iProcess Engine with an IPv6 Address

## Status

If you are... | This task is...
Installing a new iProcess Engine Version 11.9.0 | Possibly required
Upgrading from an iProcess Engine Version 11.0 or later | Possibly required

## Database

Oracle, SQL Server

## 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.

| 1. | 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.

| — | SQL Server To configure IP addresses for SQL Server, create an ODBC Data Source. Add the IPv6 address in the Server field when selecting a server that SQL Server connects to. For more information about how to create an ODBC data source, see Creating the ODBC Data Source.

| 2. | 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.

| 4. | Restart iProcess Engine.
