Restarting Failed Processes

To make sure that the TIBCO iProcess Engine is always running, the Process Sentinels are constantly monitoring for failure of processes. Each of the Process Sentinels operating in the node will monitor all processes running on the same server. If a process fails, the Process Sentinels will start a new copy of the process. In many cases, there can be many instances of a process running such as 5 Background processes and the Process Sentinels will make sure that the correct instance of the process is restarted.

The process_attribute table is responsible for the configuration of how processes are restarted. You can specify whether you want the process to be manually restarted, restarted a set number of times, and the minimum time a process must run before it can be restarted. Settings can be applied to the node, a single server in the node, a type of process, or an individual instance of a process.
