Defining and initializing a Process Engine isolated region silently

Define and initialize a Process Engine isolated region and, if the configuration is for IBM® Case Manager, configure the link between the region and a Content Engine object store silently by using the PEInit command-line tool.

Complete the steps to configure the Process Engine using either the silent or interactive procedures.

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

Configure and initialize a Process Engine isolated region silently by using the PEInit command with appropriate parameters. In this task, you run the commands to:
  • Configure a single isolated region
  • (Case Management only) Configure the symbolic link between an object store and isolated region.
These activities are broken into two steps which you must run in the following order. The second step is only required for IBM Case Manager configurations:

To configure Process Engine silently:

  1. Log on to the Process Engine server. Any user can create the input parameter files. To run most of the commands in the PEInit tool, you must enter either the pe_service_user user name and password. To create or modify a region you will need the pe_region_admin user name and password.
  2. Run the following command to configure and initialize the isolated region. Enter as a single line:
    PEInit virtual_server_name -R region_id
     -p PE_server_DNS name -Y 
    pe_region_admin+pe_region_admin_password

    where:

    region_id
    identifies the isolated region number to be created and initialized on the Process Engine.
    virtual_server_name
    is the name of the virtual server you are defining. If you do not specify the virtual server name, this server name is defined as pesvr.default. If the configuration is for IBM Case Manager, create only one isolated region per database. The region is created and the base classes are transferred to the region.
    PE_server_DNS name
    is the DNS name of the Process Engine server. This is the same name used to define the region on the Content Engine.
    Important: Running this command removes all data in the region.
  3. For IBM Case Manager, run the following command to set the link between an object store and the isolated region. Enter as a single line:
    PEInit virtual_server_name -A region_id
     -n object_store_symbolic_name -Y pe_region_admin+pe_region_admin_password

    where:

    region_id
    identifies the isolated region number to be created and initialized on the Process Engine.
    virtual_server_name
    is the name of the virtual server you are defining. If you do not specify the virtual server name, this server name is defined as pesvr.default. If the configuration is for IBM Case Manager, create only one isolated region per database. The region is created and the base classes are transferred to the region.
    object_store_symbolic_name
    is the name of the object store you are linking to the isolated region.
  4. Log off and log back on before running any other Process Engine program, such as Process Task Manager or Process Configuration Console.
