Multiple isolated regions and multiple VWServices

The illustration at left shows a system with three Process Routers running on the Application Engine or web server, and thus accessible to Process Configuration Console.
  • vwrouter - specifying isolated region 1 on Process Engine rosa (vwrouter is the default Process Router name)
  • vwrouter262 - specifying isolated region 262 on Process Engine rosa
  • HumanResources - specifying isolated region 1 on Process Engine hq_hr

There are two VWServices shown, whose primary Process Engines are:

  • rosa, with two isolated regions: region 1 and region 262
  • hq_hr, with one isolated region: region 1

Work items and processing in one isolated region are entirely independent from work items and processing in another isolated region. For example, while isolated regions 1 and 262 share the same Process Engine (rosa), each isolated region has separate user queues, work queues, component queues, rosters, and event logs.

In the illustration at left, the two isolated regions in the rosa VWService have three Process Engines—Server 0 (the primary Process Engine), Server 1, and Server 2—to distribute the processing load. You can assign separate component queues, work queues, and workflow rosters to particular servers. During processing, the Process Router routes work items based on the assignments you have made.

While the HumanResources Process Router is running on the same Application Engine or web server as vwrouter and vwrouter262, it points to a different Process Engine (hq_hr) and thus represents a different VWService. Isolated region 1 on Process Engine hq_hr is completely separate from isolated region 1 on Process Router rosa.

TIP To configure a VWService/isolated region combination that is not listed in your Process Configuration Console, you must first start a Process Router on the Application Engine or web server and specify the VWService's primary Process Engine and isolated region. See Starting and stopping a Process Router in Help for Task Manager.
