Process Router property descriptions

The following table describes the available router properties:

Parameter Description

Classpath

The full path to the required jar file(s), enclosed in quotes. If more than one jar file is required, enclose each in quotes, and separate with a colon (:). The default location is:

Application Engine/Windows
"<AE_Install_location>\FileNet\Workplace\WEB-INF\lib\eprocess.jar"
where AE_Install_location is the full path to the folder in which the Application Engine software was installed.

Application Engine/Solaris or AIX
"<AE_Install_location>/FileNet/Workplace/WEB-INF/lib/eprocess.jar"
where AE_Install_location is the full path to the folder in which the Application Engine software was installed.

Content Engine
"C:\Program Files\FileNet\Content Engine\WFLauncher.jar"

FileNet Web Services
"C:\FileNet\idm\web\idmws\Redist\WF_Extras\pw.jar"

Open Client
"C:\FileNet\IDM\Web\FnOpenClient\eProcess\download\pw.jar"

Debug Level

Indicates whether debugging information will be provided. Valid entries are 0 (the default, which turns off debugging) through 4. Do not turn on debugging unless you are directed to do so by your FileNet support representative.

When debugging is on, each level (1-4) provides progressively more information. The output is stored in the router trace file, vwrouter.trc (default).

Enable automatic startup Enables automatic startup of the associated process when Process Task Manager is started from a script. See Enabling automatic startup for more information.

Isolated Region

The number of the isolated region you want this router to access; the number can range from 1 - 999. A router supports only one isolated region.

Local Host

The fully qualified name of the Application Engine or web server where the router is running. This parameter is optional unless the Process Engine or Application Engine or web server resides behind a firewall or Network Address Translator (NAT). In such configurations, you may be denied access when you start the router, receiving the error “Failed to find Service Router.” To resolve this error, you must enter the Local Host when starting the router.

CAUTION RMI requests to a server with an underscore (_) in the DNS name fail due to a limitation in JRE 1.4 and greater. If your server has a name containing an underscore, you must use the IP address or localhost if appropriate.

Password

The password associated with the username specified in the Username parameter.

PPM Port

The RMI port that the PPM running on the Process Engine (specified in the Process Engine parameter) is using. The default port is 32771; it is only necessary to specify this parameter if the PPM is running on a different port.

NOTE On Solaris-based systems, you must take additional steps in order to use port 32771. See Eliminating port 32771 conflicts for instructions.

Process Engine

The TCP/IP name of the primary Process Engine on which the PPM is running.

CAUTION RMI requests to a server with an underscore (_) in the DNS name fail due to a limitation in JRE 1.4 and greater. If your server has a name containing an underscore, you must use the IP address or localhost if appropriate.

For Workplace, your entry must match the Process Router host specified in the Router site preference on the Application Engine or web server. See Router for further details.

Registry Port

The RMI port the router uses. The default port is 32771.

NOTE On Solaris-based systems, you must take additional steps in order to use port 32771. See Eliminating port 32771 conflicts for instructions.

It is not necessary to run the PPM and the router on the same port. For further information about the relationship between the router and the PPM, see About the Process Router.

CAUTION For FileNet Web Services Client or Open Client, if you use a port other than 32771, the port must be defined on the web server to make the router available to users at logon. For Workplace, the registry port number must match the port specification in the Router preference for the Application Engine. See Configure router defaults for further information.

RMI Backlog

 

The maximum queue length for incoming RMI connection indications (requests to connect). If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused. The default value is 100. It is only necessary to specify this parameter if you want to change the value.

Router Name

The name of the router to start. The default name is vwrouter. The name you enter may not contain spaces.

For Workplace, your entry must match the Process Router name specified in the Router site preference on the Application Engine or web server. See Router for further details.

Seconds
ConnectRetry

The number of seconds that a server connection will be retried if there is an error. The default is 180. It is only necessary to specify this parameter if you want to change the value.

Username

A valid user name. Administrative authority is not required to run a router.
