Description

The iProcess Engine is now properly installed, configured, and ready to start up

Node Cluster

Install each node in the cluster before trying to start the iProcess Engine.

Procedure

To start iProcess Engine:

1. If you were prompted to reboot your computer when the installer finished, and you have not yet done so, you must reboot now.
2. Log in as the iProcess Engine IPEADMIN user.
3. If you have installed the iProcess Engine to a Windows cluster, use the Bring online service in the Microsoft Cluster Administrator to start the iProcess Engine.

Warning 

Do not start iProcess Engine on a Windows cluster using Control Panel > Services or the SWDIR\bin\swstart command.

4. If you are not using a Windows Cluster:
a. Open a command prompt window.
b. Enter the following command to start the iProcess Engine process sentinels:

     SWDIR\bin\swstart -p

If you did not check the Auto start processes on service startup check box when you ran the installer, enter the following command to start the iProcess Engine processes:

     SWDIR\bin\swstart

If you did check the Auto start processes on service startup check box, the process sentinels will automatically start all of the iProcess Engine processes.

Quick Starting and Restarting iProcess Engine

You can also use the following command to quick start the iProcess Engine processes:

   SWDIR\bin\swstart -q

You can use the RESTART_SPO_CACHE_PROC process attribute to define how many latest versions of procedure definition to be cached by the iProcess Objects Server processes when restarting the iProcess Objects Server processes or quick starting iProcess Engine; use the RESTART_WIS_CACHE_THRESHOLD process attribute to define the threshold number of work items in a work queue to be cached by the WIS processes when restarting the WIS processes or quick starting iProcess Engine.

For more information about the swstart -q command, see "Controlling the iProcess Engine" in TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator's Guide. For more information about the RESTART_SPO_CACHE_PROC and RESTART_WIS_CACHE_THRESHOLD process attributes, see "Administering Process Attributes" in TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator's Guide.
