Starting/Stopping the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server

The TIBCO iProcess Objects Server runs as a process under the control of the Process Sentinels. The Process Sentinels can be configured to automatically start the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server process, or you can issue a request to start or stop the process using the swsvrmgr utility, as follows:

Windows systems:

SWDIR\util\swsvrmgr START <MachineID> SPO <ProcessInst>

SWDIR\util\swsvrmgr SHUTDOWN <MachineID> SPO <ProcessInst>

UNIX systems:

$SWDIR/util/swsvrmgr START <MachineID> SPO <ProcessInst>

$SWDIR/util/swsvrmgr SHUTDOWN <MachineID> SPO <ProcessInst>

Note that the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server process is also shut down if the Process Sentinels are stopped. For information about stopping the Process Sentinels, see TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator’s Guide.

Start / Stopping a UNIX TIBCO iProcess Objects Server as the Background User

To be able to start or stop a UNIX TIBCO iProcess Objects Server, you must be logged in as either the root user or the background user (by default, pro). If you want to be able to start/stop a UNIX TIBCO iProcess Objects Server when logged in as the background user, you must set the UNIX kernel parameter that defines the hard limit for the maximum number of file descriptors per process to a value of at least the number specified in the NumFiles parameter (see NumFiles (UNIX Only)). If you do not do this, you will need to be logged in as the root user. (The UNIX kernel parameter that defines the hard limit for the maximum number of file descriptors per process is platform-specific. See your UNIX documentation for more information about which parameter you need to set, how to set it, and the effect on your system of setting it.)

Note that if you want the background user to be able to start the Process Sentinels (which in turn starts the TIBCO iProcess Objects Server), you must set the hard limit as described in the previous paragraph.
