Workplace XT startup and shutdown
You can start and stop Workplace XT by using graphical user interface (GUI)-based or command-line-based instructions. Workplace XT consists of the following components: Workplace XT and workflow-related processes. This topic includes detailed instructions for starting up and shutting down both.
The FileNet P8 components are interdependent. See FileNet P8 component relationships to determine the optimal order for starting and stopping your system components.
The following tables contain detailed instructions for stopping and starting this component. Each step is listed in the first column. The next column contains the detailed instructions or commands necessary to accomplish the step. The GUI procedures describe procedures that use the graphical user interfaces (GUIs) available in the component software or operating system software. The command-line procedures list the equivalent command-line instructions. You can run the command-line instructions directly from a command prompt, or incorporate them into a script.
The procedures below assume you are using Process Task Manager to manage the legacy Component Manager.
GUI procedures
Startup
You can start the application server software independently of the workflow-related processes.
TIP You can configure various options for automatic startup. In order to provide you with all of the steps required to start this component, the following procedure assumes that no automatic startup options have been configured. Click for instructions on enabling automatic startup for a step. Where automatic startup is configured, the related step becomes unnecessary.
- Workplace XT
Step Details Start the application server software. Use the startup procedures specified by your application server software vendor. - Workflow-related processes
The steps in this section assume you are using Process Task Manager to manage Component Manager. If you have configured the application server to automatically start and stop Component Manager, you can go directly to the last step in this section.
Step Details Windows Use the Windows Services console to start the Process Workplace XT Services Manager service.
UNIX
Workplace XT on UNIX does not have a corresponding daemon that must be started. However, if you have enabled any Process-related features for automatic startup, you can start them at this time by entering the following command at the command prompt:
routercmd.sh -autostart
- If it is not already open, open Process Task Manager.
- Select the Component Manager node and click Start on the toolbar.
- If it is not already open, open Process Task Manager.
- Expand the Component Manager node, select each component, and click Start on the toolbar.
- The table below lists component queues that are required by each FileNet P8 component.

Shutdown
You can stop the application server software independently of the workflow-related processes.
- Workplace XT
Step Details Stop the application server software. Use the shutdown procedures specified by your application server software vendor. Depending on your application server software, you can choose one of the following options: - Stop an individual application: you can stop the Workplace XT application.
- Finish work-in-progress: you can allow in-progress work to complete before stopping Workplace XT.
- Workflow-related processes
If you have configured the application server to automatically start and stop Component Manager, you can skip this section.
Step Details Stop all workflow-related features. Windows Use the Windows Services console to stop the Process Workplace XT Services Manager service.
UNIX
- If it is not already open, open Process Task Manager.
- Select the Component Manager node and click Stop on the toolbar.
- Close Process Task Manager.
