Add a Server

You can add servers to your iProcess Engine at any time. For example, you can increase the amount of case processing by adding a server and starting more background processes.

To add a server to your iProcess Engine, use the following command:

swadm add_server machine_name master check_error_filesmachine_comment

where:

•

machine_name is the physical name of the server you want to add.

•

master is the parameter that specifies if you want the server to host the master Process Sentinels. Replace master with either:

—

Y specifies the master server

—

N specifies the slave server.

—

See “Process Management” in TIBCO iProcess Engine Architecture Guide for more information about the Process Sentinels architecture.

•

check_error_files specifies whether Process Sentinels on this server check for the creation of the sw_error and sw_warn files.

—

Y specifies Process Sentinels check for errors.

—

N specifies no checking is performed.

•

machine_comment is the text description added to identify the server.

Example

The following example adds server Pluto to iProcess Engine. It:

•

Specifies that Pluto will run as a slave server and will check for iProcess error files.

•

Sets its comment as BG_processor_3, indicating that it is the third server (in a node cluster) that runs background processes.

# swadm add_server pluto N Y BG_processor_3
