Configuring the Process Engine for manual startup (UNIX only)

Whenever you boot a UNIX-based Process Engine the Process Service software starts automatically. You can configure the software for manual start up by editing the startup file, /etc/inittab.

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 manual startup

  1. Log on to the Process Engine as root.
  2. 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.
  3. Open the etc/inittab file in a text editor.
  4. Comment out the following line:
    • (Solaris) :fn:3:wait:/bin/sh /etc/rc.initfnsw <dev/console>/dev/console 2>&1
    • (AIX) :rcfnsw:2:once:/etc/rc.initfnsw 2>&1 | alog -tboot > /dev/console 2>&1
  5. Save the file and close the text editor.
