Description

Before installing TIBCO iProcess Engine on a machine, you need to stop any other iProcess Engines running on the same machine. If you do not do this when it is required, the installer will display an error dialog box and fail when you run it. See Installer Cannot Continue Because Another iPE is Running for more information.

After stopping iProcess Engines running on a machine, the installer can stop and replace components (for example, the iProcess Events64 COM+ application) that are also used by other iProcess Engine installations. The installer checks whether the latest versions of these components are currently installed, and only replaces them where the version delivered with this iProcess Engine is more recent than the installed version of the component.

Therefore, it is only necessary to stop other iProcess Engines for the first installation of iProcess Version 11.9.0 on a given machine. When you install a second or subsequent instance of iProcess, these components will already be at the latest versions, and will not need to be replaced.

Procedure

To stop any other iProcess Engines running on the same machine, complete the following steps:

1. Open the Control Panel window.
2. Double-click the Administrative Tools item.
3. Double-click the Services item.
4. Search for any running services with the following names:
iProcess nodeName Process Sentinels
iProcess NodeName Web Server
iProcess NodeName AdminConsole service
5. Right-click each running service and select Stop from the pop-up menu.
