Starting Workflow Monitor Agent for Dynamic Assignment Using the Command-Line Interface
To run dynamic assignment, the Workflow Monitor Agent (the WorkMon server component) needs to be running. This server component monitors the S_ESCL_REQ table. Database triggers, when fired because of object changes, create records in the S_ESCL_REQ table. The Workflow Monitor Agent reads these new records and processes requests for Assignment Manager policies. Affected objects are then dynamically assigned. NOTE: Dynamic assignment does not log information into S_ESCL_LOG. For more information about log files, see System Monitoring and Diagnostics Guide for Siebel Business Applications.
To start Workflow Monitor Agent from the command-line interface
- Determine the workflow group that you want Workflow Monitor Agent to monitor.
- Navigate to the Administration - Assignment screen > Assignment Policies view.
- In the Policy Group field in the Assignment Policies list, choose the workflow group (the default group is Assignment Group).
- Start the srvmgr program.
For detailed information on this process, see Siebel System Administration Guide. After the program starts, the prompt changes to:
srvmgr: server_name>
- At the prompt, enter the following information to start the Workflow Monitor Agent server component task; use the Group information gathered from Step 1 (Assignment Group used in this example):
start task for component workmon with GroupName="Assignment Group"
- Configure other component parameters, if needed.
For more information about other configurable parameters, see Table 49.
NOTE: Separate the parameters and their values in the command-line statement with commas.
- Alternatively, you can configure a Workflow Monitor Agent to start automatically to process assignment requests whenever the Siebel Server starts.
For more information on Workflow Monitor Agent, see Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide.
This command starts a new task running in the background and returns to the Server Manager immediately. NOTE: It is possible to set up multiple Workflow Monitor Agents for dynamic assignment. For more information on setting up multiple Workflow Monitor Agents, see the "Starting Workflow Agent Processes Automatically with Siebel Server" topic of Siebel Business Process Designer Administration Guide.
Table 49 shows the Workflow Monitor Agent command-line interface parameters.
