FileNet P8 Process Engine, Version 5.0.+              

Defining a Process Engine isolated region interactively

Start the Process Task Manager and define an isolated region. If the region is defined in Process Task Manager, it must be initialized later using Process Configuration Console After installing Application Engine. Alternatively use the command line tool PEinit to define and initialize the region.

Define an isolated region by taking the following steps. Note that the region must already exist on the Content Engine and that the region is not initialized by defining it here. To initialize the region and create a link between the region and a Content Engine object store, you will need to run Process Configuration Console after installing Application Engine or Workplace XT.

As an alternative, define and initialize the isolated region using the PEinit command.

High availability Complete these procedures on only one node in a Process Engine farm or cluster.

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Process Task Manager values, filter by Process Task Manager in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on to the Process Engine server as pe_install_user.
  3. Start the Process Task Manager, as follows:
    Option Description
    Windows® creating the virtual server with a name of default Select Start > Programs > IBM FileNet P8 Platform > Process Engine > Process Task Manager.
    Windows assigning a specific name to the virtual server At a command prompt, change to the installation directory, by default C:\Program Files\IBM\FileNet\ProcessEngine, and enter vwtaskman virtual_server_name where virtual_server_name is the virtual server name.
    UNIX® creating the virtual server with a name of default Enter ./vwtaskman at the command prompt. The terminal should support X Windows and the DISPLAY environment variable should be set.
    UNIX assigning a specific name to the virtual server Enter ./vwtaskman virtual_server_name where virtual_server_name is the virtual server name at the command prompt. The terminal should support X Windows and the DISPLAY environment variable should be set.
  4. Right-click on Region in the left pane and choose New. Fill in a region number on the General subtab. Use any number between 1 and 999 that has not already been used. See the IBM® FileNet® P8 help topic System Administration > Isolated Regions > Concepts for information on isolated regions.
  5. Select a region from the list.
  6. On the Security Settings subtab enter the pe_region_admin user name and password.
  7. After all parameters have been entered, click Apply.
  8. When prompted by Process Task Manager to restart the software, click Yes. Process Task Manager will restart the software automatically on all servers in the farm.
