This task is...

Installing a new iProcess Engine Version 11.9.0

Optional

Optional

Database

Description

If you chose to enable the iProcess Objects Server and/or iProcess Objects Director during the installation process (see Select Components To Configure), you can now configure them according to your requirements before starting iProcess Engine.

Node Cluster

The iProcess Objects Server and/or iProcess Objects Director must communicate using the same Client-Server RPC port number (see Configuration) used by the node on which the iProcess Engine foreground processes (WIS, WQS, and so on) are running. If they do not match, errors will be written to the iProcess Objects Server and/or iProcess Objects Director log file on startup.

Procedure

To configure iProcess Objects Server, run the iProcess Objects Server Configuration Utility. To start this utility, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > TIBCO iProcess Objects Server.

Note 

You do not need to run this utility again if you choose to run iProcess Objects Server Configuration Utility as part of the installation process, see Select Components To Configure for details.

For more information about this utility, and how to use it, see Configuring the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server in TIBCO iProcess Objects Server Administrator’s Guide.

To configure iProcess Objects Director, set the iProcess Engine process attributes that control the iProcess Objects Director to your required values.

For more information about these attributes and their possible values, see “Configuring the TIBCO iProcess Objects Director“ in the TIBCO iProcess Objects Director Administrator’s Guide.

If the iProcess Objects Server or iProcess Objects Director is installed on a master or slave server (in a node cluster) that is not running any iProcess Engine foreground processes (WIS, WQS, and so on):

1. Determine the client or server RPC port being used by the node on which the foreground processes are running by looking at line 11 of the SWDIR\swdefs file on that node’s machine.
2. Compare the client or server RPC port specified in the SWDIR\swdefs file of the machine on which you are installing the iProcess Objects Server and iProcess Objects Director with the port number you determined in the previous step. If the RPC numbers match, no further action is required. If they do not match:

  1. Change the client or server RPC port specified in the SWDIR\swdefs file of the machine on which you are installing so it is the same as on the machine running the foreground processes.

  2. Change the RPC number in the following registry location on the machine on which you are installing so it matches the number in the SWDIR\swdefs file:

RegistryLocation\TIBCO iProcess\TIBCO iProcess Engine\Nodes\MyNode\RPC_CLTSRV

where RegistryLocation is \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software.
