      When initially installing an application server or extension server (that is, Workflow or User) on a 64-bit computer, you can elect to run the server in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode. If your environment changes subsequent to installation, you can use the Configure Server tool to change the architecture mode accordingly.
    - Add or remove performance counters
      Using this procedure, you can manually add performance counters to your system, or remove them. You must have administrative privileges in order to perform this action.
    - Display the host server name in the Workflow client
      By default, the server name is displayed in the client, next to the server state icon. However, if you want to display a more meaningful name for your server, you can configure an alias so that the alias is displayed in the client rather than the actual server name.
    - Client and Server Configurations
      Workflow supports adding server and client configurations that are not included in the respective configuration files.
    - Server Limit Overrides
      There are many limits in the Proficy SOA server that can be changed without recompiling any source. These limits are changed by adding a named file with the new limits to the Program folder.

Modify security certificates

The Configure Certificates tool is used to change or update the security certificates you configured during the server installation.

Before you begin

Before you modify security certificates:

Copy security certificates and transfer the copies to your extension servers.
Update the security certificates to match the server.

About this task

Related Server Notes

For an extension server installation (that is, a multiple server or server failover cluster), you must copy the ProficyPlatform and Proficy STS security certificates from the main server onto a disk or other portable device, and then transfer those certificate copies to your extension servers. The SSL/TLS Server Certificate must be unique to each server.
If you change the certificate option on your servers, all remote clients connected to those servers must have their security certificates updated to match the server. Use the Configure Client tool to download the new versions of the certificates.

Upgrading

Beginning with Workflow 2.5, legacy certificates are no longer supported.

Procedure

On the server machine, On the server machine, click Start > All Programs > General Electric > Workflow > Configuration > Configure Certificates.
The Security Certificates page appears.
Select the appropriate certificate option. For full descriptions of the certificate options, see Security Certificate Options.
Click Save, and then click Exit.
