You can start and stop Application Engine by using graphical user
interface or command line instructions.
About this task
Application Engine consists
of the following components: Workplace and workflow-related processes.
This topic includes detailed instructions for starting and stopping
both.
The following procedures assume that you are using Process
Task Manager to manage the legacy Component Manager. Alternatively,
you can configure a WebLogic application server or IBM®
WebSphere® Application Server to automatically start
and stop Component Manager.
Procedure
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.
Follow the instructions for the appropriate action:
Action |
Steps |
Startup |
Start the Workplace application: - Start the application server software:
Use the startup procedures
specified by your application server software vendor.
Start the 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 to start the component queues.
- Start the workflow processes:
- GUI (Windows only)
- Use the Windows Services console to start the Process
Application Engine Services Manager service.
- Command line
Restriction: For legacy components, you must first
enable automatic startup for Component Manager.
- Windows:
net start "VWServicesAE"
- UNIX:
Application Engine does not have a corresponding daemon that
must be started. However, if you have enabled any workflow-related features for automatic startup,
you can start them at this time by entering the following command from the command
line:
routercmd.sh -autostart
- For legacy components, start Component Manager:
- If it is not already open, open Process Task Manager.
- Select the Component Manager node and click Start on
the toolbar.
- For legacy components, start component queues.
- 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
following table lists component queues that are required by each FileNet P8 component. FileNet P8 component |

Shutdown (workflow-related processes) |
Stop the Workplace application: - Stop the application server software:
Use the shutdown procedures
specified by your application server software vendor.
Tip: If
your application server software provides these options, you can do
the following actions:
- Stop an individual application: you can stop the Workplace application.
- Finish work-in-progress: you can allow in-progress work to complete
before stopping Workplace.
Stop the workflow-related processes: - GUI
- Windows:
Use the Windows Services console to stop the Process Application Engine 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.
- Command line
- Windows:
net stop "VWServicesAE"
- UNIX:
routercmd.sh -autostop
