Chapter 9 Process Management : Configuring the Process Sentinels

Configuring the Process Sentinels
There are several areas of configuration information related to the Process Sentinels:
This utility enables system administrators to control the functions of the Process Sentinels such as setting which computer runs the master process.
Refer to “Using swsvrmgr to Administer Server Processes” in the TIBCO iProcess Engine: Administrator's Guide for more information.
This graphical tool allows you to control the functions of the Process Sentinels in much the same way as with SWDIR\util\swsvrmgr. Refer to "Using the iProcess Server Manager to Administer Server Processes" in the TIBCO iProcess Engine: Administrator's Guide for more information.
SWDIR\etc\staffpms file
When the Process Sentinels start, it uses the database connection information in this file to establish the database connection.
Refer to “Using the TIBCO iProcess Engine Configuration Files” in the TIBCO iProcess Engine: Administrator's Guide.
After the Process Sentinels have connected to the database, it reads this table to see if the computer on which it has been started is part of the TIBCO iProcess Engine node cluster. If it is not, the Process Sentinels will shut down.
Refer to the appropriate TIBCO iProcess Engine Database Administrator’s Guide.
The Process Sentinels read this table to determine which processes should be running on which computer. A process hierarchy model is created in memory, which is used to start and stop the processes in the correct sequence.
Refer to the appropriate TIBCO iProcess Engine Database Administrator’s Guide.
The Process Sentinels read this table to find out how processes should be restarted, for example if they should be restarted automatically or manually. This table also defines how long the Process Sentinels are idle for before checking for SWDIR\logs\sw_error and sw_warn files and disk space.
Refer to the appropriate TIBCO iProcess Engine Database Administrator’s Guide.
You can use the TIBCO iProcess Engine Configuration utility SWDIR\util\swadm to administer the Process Sentinels and server processes. You can perform tasks such as setting the server on which to run the master Process Sentinels, adding a new server to the node cluster or enabling and disabling processes. This utility directly reads and updates the iProcess database tables.
Refer to “Administering Servers” in the TIBCO iProcess Engine: Administrator's Guide.
