Chapter 5. Testing the installation

5.1. Starting the Server

If you have installed Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite using the JBoss EAP 6 bundle install, you can now start your server in one of two modes.

Warning

In addition to the previous install steps, we strongly recommend to set the system property org.kie.tx.lock.enabled to false in order to prevent unresponsiveness or deadlock issues. You can either start your server with the option -Dorg.kie.tx.lock.enabled=false or edit the standalone.xml file: 
<system-properties>
	<property name="org.kie.tx.lock.enabled" value="false"/>
	...
</system-properties>
For further details, please refer to this article: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1610723.

Note

If you installed JBoss BPM Suite using the generic deployable version on Red Hat Java Web Server, the instructions for download and install also contain the instructions for starting the server. You can ignore the following discussion.
The default startup script, standalone.sh that Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite ships with is optimized for performance. To run your server in the performance mode, do the following:
  1. On the command line, move into the $SERVER_HOME/bin/ directory.
  2. In a Unix environment run: 
    ./standalone.sh
    In a Windows environment run: 
    ./standalone.bat
Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite also ships with a separate script, standalone-secure.sh that is optimized for security. This script applies a security policy by default that protects against a known security vulnerability.

Note

It is recommended that production environments use standalone-secure.sh script.

Warning

The use of a security manager imposes a significant performance penalty that you should be aware of. The tradeoff between security and performance must be made by taking into consideration individual circumstances. See Section 5.2, “Java Security Manager and Performance Management”.
To run your server in the secure mode with this script, do the following:
  1. On the command line, move into the $SERVER_HOME/bin/ directory.
  2. In a Unix environment run: 
    ./standalone-secure.sh
    In a Windows environment run: 
    ./standalone-secure.bat

Note

If you installed JBoss BPM Suite using the installer, an option to apply the security policy is given to you at the time of install. The installer doesn't provide a separate standalone-secure.sh script.

Note

If you are starting the server in the domain mode, the corresponding scripts are domain.sh and domain-secure.sh respectively.
