Define a Server as the Master Server

Process Sentinels operate on each server involved in hosting your iProcess Engine, but one server has to be configured to host the master Process Sentinels. For more information about Process Sentinels, see “Process Management” in TIBCO iProcess Engine Architecture Guide.

If the master process fails or needs to be shut down, such as when upgrading the server, you can assign a new server to host the master Process Sentinels using the following command:

swadm set_master machine_id | machine_name

where:

•

machine_id is the server identifier (such as 1, 2, or 3) on which you want the master Process Sentinels to run.

•

machine_name is the physical name of the server on which you want the master Process Sentinels to run.

Example

To set the master Process Sentinels to run on the server called Hades, you would enter the following command.

# swadm set_master hades
The master machine has been set to machine hades.
