TIBCO iProcess® Engine 11.10.0

# Issue a Start New Event

You can issue a `START_NEW` event to start many temporary instances of a process. These instances will not be restarted if iProcess Engine is restarted. For example, you may want to start a new background process to cope with a short peak in demand.

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

`swsvrmgr START_NEW [` `machine_name` `|` `machine_id` `[` `process_name` `[``instances``]]] [-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.

| • | `instances` is the number of instances 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.

## Notes

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

## Example

To start an additional 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_NEW hercules bg 1
    BG 5 STARTED
    Process(es) successfully started
