iIS Process Management Tasks

Setting Up an iPlanet UDS Runtime Environment
An iIS process management system runs in an iPlanet UDS software environment.
Both the development and production capabilities of iIS (both process
development and process execution) use the distributed runtime services provided
by an iPlanet UDS environment. A functioning iPlanet UDS environment is the
technical infrastructure underlying an iIS process management system.
Installing iIS Process Management Software
iIS process management system software consists of a number of client and server
software modules required to support nodes that perform a number of different
functions. The functionally different types of nodes in an iIS process system are the
following:
• nodes that support iIS process engine components
• nodes that support process development
• nodes that support client application development or client application
execution in a production environment
Before installing iIS process system software, you must first determine which
nodes in your iPlanet UDS environment are used for each of these purposes and to
install the corresponding system software on each.
When upgrading iIS process system software, especially in production
environments, you might have to migrate data from existing iIS process engine
databases to new ones. See “Upgrading an iIS System” on page 63.
Setting Up and Maintaining Central Development Repositories
In iIS development environments, the code created in the process development
workshops is stored in a modified iPlanet UDS central development repository. As
an iIS system manager, you may be called on to create iIS central development
repositories and start a Repository Server for each. (Developers can also use private
iIS repositories.)
Central development repositories require maintenance, such as backing them up
periodically, compacting them regularly, and implementing usage patterns among
your development staff that improves performance.
For more information on managing central development repositories, see the
iPlanet UDS System Management Guide.
