TIBCO iProcess® Engine 11.10.0

# Issue a Start-up Event

To start the entire iProcess Engine node or start individual processes, you can issue a `START` event so that Process Sentinels receive the published event and start the required processes.

To issue a `START` event, use the following command:

`swsvrmgr START [` `machine_name` `|` `machine_id` `[` `process_name` `[` `process_instance` `]]]
[-T` `timeout``]`

where:

| • | `machine_name` is the name of the server.

| • | `machine_id` is the unique identifier of the server. You can find a server’s identifier using the `swsvrmgr` status command.

| • | `process_name` is the process name of the server process you want to start and must be one of these: `BG`, `BGPREDICT`, `DBQD`, `DLMGR`, `IAPJMS`, `SPO` or `DIRECTOR`. If any other process name is specified, the command fails and an error message is displayed.

| • | `process_instance` is the instance of the process to start.

| • | `timeout` is the optional timeout period that can be used to specify the time after which the command will terminate. If this is not specified, the default is 60 seconds.

Note: When you issue a `START` event, the `swsvrmgr` utility will test events automatically. If the events do not work, Process Sentinels will not start processes. For more information, see Test Events.

## Notes

All foreground processes (see Server Processes) must run on the master server.

## Example

To start the third instance of the background process (`BG`) that is operating on the computer called Hercules using the default timeout, you would issue the following command:

    swsvrmgr START hercules bg 3
    BG 3 STARTED
    Process(es) successfully started
