Configuring the Process Engine
for automatic startup (Windows only)
By default, you must manually start the Process Service
software whenever you boot a Windows-based Process Engine.
You can configure the software to start automatically when the Process Engine
is booted.
NOTE Since
Process Service
is dependent on its database software, the database software must be running
when the Process Service
software starts, regardless of whether the Process Service
software starts automatically or manually.
To configure the Process Engine
for automatic startup
Stop all FileNet software running on the Process Engine.
From Process Task Manager,
select Process Service
and click Stop on the toolbar. Close
the Process Task Manager.
Start the Windows Registry Editor.
From the Start menu,
select Run.
In the Open field, enter regedt32.
Click OK.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Expand SYSTEM.
Expand CurrentControlSet.
Expand Services.
Double-click the IMSService registry
key to display its values in the details pane.
Double-click ImagePath. Add -c
start to the string in the String
field. For example:
old: C:\FNSW\bin\tm_daemon.exe.
new: C:\FNSW\bin\tm_daemon.exe -c start
Click OK.
If the database is local (that is, on the server where you installed
the Process Engine),
add a new string value as follows::
Select IMSService, then
select Add Value from the Edit
menu.
Enter DependOnService in the
Value Name field.
From the Data type list, select
REG_MULTI_SZ.
Click OK.
In the Data box, enter the following:
For Microsoft SQL Server
MSSQLSERVER
For Oracle:
OracleServicexxx, where xxx is the ORACLE_SID value
Click OK.
NOTE If
the database takes too long to start up after booting the Process Engine
(due to a prior crash, for instance), Process Service
automatically stops. In this case, you must start Process Service
manually via the Process Task Manager.
