Status

This task is...

Installing a new iProcess Engine Version 11.8.0

N/A

Upgrading from an iProcess Engine Version 11.0 or later

Optional

Database

Oracle, DB2

Description

If you have upgraded an existing iProcess Engine installation, the installer does not overwrite the $SWDIR/seo/data/swentobjsv.cfg iProcess Objects Server configuration file, because you may have customized it for your particular needs. Instead, the installer installs a sample.cfg file in the $SWDIR/seo/data directory.

The newly installed configuration file (swentobjsv.cfg and/or sample.cfg) is the configuration file for the version to which you have upgraded. It may contain new configuration parameters or other changes. See TIBCO iProcess Objects Server Release Notes for more information.

Note 

All configuration parameters in the new configuration files are commented out. If used as is, iProcess Objects Server will use the default values for all parameters.

Procedure

If the new configuration file contains new or modified information, you can copy that information and paste it into your existing configuration file.

You can use the diff program (diff swentobjsv.cfg sample.cfg) to determine what is different between your configuration file and the new configuration file.

Note 

Whether or not you make any modifications, the $SWDIR/seo/data directory must contain a swentobjsv.cfg file, which will be used to configure the iProcess Objects Server when it is started.

If any of the configuration parameters contain invalid values, the iProcess Objects Server will not start. Since the iProcess Objects Server log file is not opened until after the configuration file is read, if there is an error in the configuration file, it is not written to the log file. Instead, it is written to the $SWDIR/logs/seo_error file. (This file is created when the iProcess Objects Server starts, so the presence of the file does not mean there were errors.)
