Specifying connection between Process Engine and Component Manager (on a Process Engine server)

Configure the connection between the Process Engine and the Component Manager using Process Task Manager on the Process Engine.

Configuring this connection is not recommended in a high availability configuration.
  1. On the Process Engine server, start Process Task Manager as follows, depending on your operating system:
    Option Description
    UNIX® Enter the following command on the command line: vwtaskman
    Windows® Select Start > Programs > IBM FileNet P8 Platform > Process Engine > Process Task Manager.
  2. Select Process Engine in the left pane (also referred to as the feature pane).
  3. In the Component Manager connection section, select the Server Connections tab.
  4. In the Host field, enter the host name of the Application Engine server where Component Manager is running.
    High availability Important: In a high availability environment, leave the Host field blank. If you configure Process Engine to talk to a specific Application Engine node, it would only attempt to communicate with the component integrator on that node, and will not be able to switch to another node in case of an Application Engine failover.
  5. In the Event Port field, enter the port that the Component Manager listens to for incoming events. The default is 32773. The port number you enter must match the number you entered when you configured the Component Manager previously.
