Description

When there is a change in the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS) Server that is used in TIBCO iProcess Engine (iPE), the following are the processes the user should check in updating them. This article assumes that the EMS Server version remains the same and if there is a change in the server version, please refer to the installation guide for your specific version of TIBCO iProcess Engine.

The scope of this article is for updating the EMS related changes in IAPJMS and iProcess Technology plugins. This may be broadened to additional processes in the future. The user is recommended to follow the article as a guide and change them in accordance with the processes they use the EMS Server. Hence, not all the steps listed below may apply to all users/customers. If you have any questions, please contact TIBCO Support before making any changes.

 

Issue/Introduction

This article briefly explains the changes that need to be done in TIBCO iProcess Engine when the underlining EMS Server is changed.

Environment

All Environments

Resolution

IAPJMS

  • Locate the iapjms.properties under $SWDIR/etc
  • Update IAPJMSConnect.InitialURL property value to refer to the new EMS Server URL
  • Eg.,  IAPJMSConnect.InitialURL=tibjmsnaming://<hostname>:<portNumber>
  • If this is a Fault Tolerant (FT) EMS setup, please verify you are making the changes in both the server details. 
  • Eg., IAPJMSConnect.InitialURL=tibjmsnaming://<hostname1>:<portNumber>,tibjmsnaming://<hostname2>:<portNumber>
  • Restart iPE


iProcess Technology Plugins

  • The EMS Server details that the technology plugins use are saved in the database and not in the file system.
  • Locate jmsadmin utility under $SWDIR\jmsadmin and launch the application
  • Select the appropriate JMS Destinations from the dropdowns that are configured, click "Modify" and then change the JMS Provider URL for that endpoint.
  • Test the connection to confirm you are able to successfully connect to it
