TIBCO iProcess® Engine 11.10.0

# Windows Version

The iProcess Engine functions are provided by the iProcess `nodename` Process Sentinels service (where the `nodename` is the name of your iProcess Engine installation).

You can stop the Process Sentinels service either:

| • | Manually, from the Services dialog box. For more information, see the following section on Manually stopping iProcess Engine.

| • | Using the `swstop.bat` script located in the SWDIR`\bin` directory. For more information, see Using the swstop.bat Script.

Warning: If you have installed iProcess Engine to a Windows cluster, use the Take offline service in the Microsoft Cluster Administrator to stop the Process Sentinels service.

Do not attempt to stop the Process Sentinels service on a Windows cluster by using Control Panel > Services or the `swstop` script located in the `SWDIR``\bin` directory.

## Manually Stopping the iProcess Engine

To stop iProcess Engine:

| 1. | Ensure that all iProcess Workspace users are logged out from iProcess Engine.

| 2. | From the Start menu, go to Settings > Control Panel.

| 3. | Double-click the Administration Tools item.

| 4. | Double-click the Services item. The Services dialog box appears.

| 5. | Select the iProcess Nodename Process Sentinels service item (where, `Nodename` is the name of your iProcess Engine installation).

| 6. | Click the Stop button. This will stop the Process Sentinels service and the iProcess Engine server processes.

## Using the swstop.bat Script

To stop iProcess Engine using the `swstop.bat` script located in the `SWDIR``\bin` directory:

1. Ensure that all iProcess Workspace users are logged out from iProcess Engine.

   Note: If you cannot or do not want to do this for any reason, you can force iProcess Engine to shut down even if users are still logged in. For more information, see Forcing the iProcess Engine to Shutdown.

2. Stop the iProcess Engine server processes using the following command:

   `swstop`

3. Stop the Process Sentinels using the following command:
