Introduction

There are three utilities that you can use to administer the iProcess Engine server processes:

The swadm utility, which you can use to directly administer server processes. For more information, see Using SWDIR\util\swadm to Administer Server Processes.
The swsvrmgr utility, which you can use to administer server processes using Process Sentinels. For more information, see Using SWDIR\util\swsvrmgr to Administer Server Processes.
Note: The swadm utility directly updates the process_config database table, so any changes you make will still apply if iProcess Engine is restarted. By contrast, any changes you make using the swsvrmgr utility are lost if Process Sentinels fail or are restarted.
Note: TIBCO recommends that you use iProcess Administration Console (iPAC) with added functionality. iProcess Administration Console is a Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based tool that runs on the web. It can be used to perform the following administrative tasks:

• Control process operations (start, stop, pause, enable/disable, and delete).

• Configure resources like process attributes, MBox queues, databases, port ranges, debug settings, and so on.

• Monitor information such as processes, queue information, logs, and so on.

For more information about the iProcess Administration Console (iPAC), see TIBCO iProcess Administration Console User's Guide.
