Overview

TIBCO iProcess Objects Director is a standalone program that maintains a list of TIBCO iProcess Objects Servers that are configured in a node cluster. When a client needs access to a TIBCO iProcess Objects Server, it first establishes a connection to TIBCO iProcess Objects Director. TIBCO iProcess Objects Director then decides, based on a “pick method,” which TIBCO iProcess Objects Server the client should connect to.

The list of known TIBCO iProcess Objects Servers is updated dynamically as TIBCO iProcess Objects Server instances are started and stopped. The TIBCO iProcess Objects Director maintains this list by checking the process_config table of iProcess Engine to which it is associated.

Note

For efficiency, after having TIBCO iProcess Objects Director choose a TIBCO iProcess Objects Server for you, you should log in directly to that same TIBCO iProcess Objects Server for all subsequent logins. This is because a SAL session is started for a user the first time they log in; subsequent logins can use that same SAL session, resulting in a much more efficient and faster login.
